File Status - Log / History views

I personally hate the File Status view. I have always liked the Log/History view to display the branch trees and also the changes on any files. I don't know if these were split out or what but I don't like the File Status view. I keep selecting the Log/History view but it constantly keeps switching back to the File Status view. Please bring it back to the way it was before or provide the capability either select the default view or at least KEEP in in the selected view.
