Description host 2013-07-16 15:05:18 UTC

In the "History" submenu of a file's drop-down menu, it says "Show History" but in the "Subversion" submenu it says "Search History...". I propose to rename the latter and call it "Show History" as well. Both have similar filtering mechanism and therefore it is not really a search in the history anyway (but rather a filtering).

i am against it:
1) the actions are not the same so it's clear that they both do something else
2) although in SVN the Search History action offers only from and to search parameters in other versoin control systems there are more fields to enter. And all of them are search parameters (*no filters*). And in order to keep the vcs menu consistent the similar actions in different vcs are called the same name. E.g. in mercurial/git the action is indeed more Search than Show.
