      As a user, when I right-click on a file to use its context menu to find the function to show a file's commit history, I am expecting to see something like, "Show commit history" or "Show history" or "Show history of changes" or .. Currently, this sought action is labeled "Log History" and is confusing to me.

      Rationale:
      The current label, "Log History" sounds like a directive to execute against the selected file. As a user, I don't want to poke around experimenting and potentially messing up files. As a Bronius, it took a googling to identify this function as what I'd been looking for before I located this menu item and tried it. I now know where it is and use it regularly, but this kind of leap of faith or learning curve would not be needed if it were more clear. Also, the "selected" may not be necessary: It is common UX that if an item is selected and a context menu is shown, the context of action is the selected item.

      Love SourceTree-- excellent app!!!
