[feature suggest] Search in local history of a file
IDEA saved every little change of editing so we don't have worry saving file, but sometimes when I want to find certain stage of a file not long time ago, I found I have no better method other than click and scroll every version one by one. And there are lots of versions in short time!
Current "find" function only works in the scope of selected version. If we can search in all the local history of this file, that could help a lot.
Another easy feature is at least allow user to add notes to certain stage of local history. I knew I can add notes when I commit changes, but I often commit multiple files which may need different notes for each one.
I submitted a ticket in here, please vote if you agree!
