Environment

• Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
  • Outdated, I know
• Sourcetree v3.3.8.3848

Steps to Reproduce

1. Commit a text file
2. Write a huge amount of lines (e.g. 20,000 lines) to the file
3. Add and commit the change
4. Show "History" page

Current Behavior

• Sourcetree tries to display the huge diff fully, and a user can't do anything but just wait for a long time or terminate this app because it never releases the whole control before finishing everything

Appreciated Behavior

Any one (or more) of these:

• Sourcetree tries to display the huge diff fully, but a timeout occurs because it took too long time to load
  • It would be great if the timeout length can be modified in preferences.
• Sourcetree tries to display the huge diff fully, but a user can interrupt it anytime by pressing Esc key or a kind of "Cancel" button
• Sourcetree tries to display the huge diff fully, but a user can interrupt it anytime by clicking on another file or commit with light changes because loading is processed only in the diff pane at the lower right
• Sourcetree displays diffs partly only within the scrolled area of the diff pane
• Sourcetree doesn't start to display diffs automatically before selecting a file in commits
  • It's just like the diff pane of the "File Status" page says "Select a file to view the diff" when no files are selected.
• Sourcetree doesn't start to display the huge diff automatically because this app knows its hugeness before the loading
  • It's just like GitHab says "Large diffs are not rendered by default" when showing commit detail page.
• Or another cool solution...
