When I looked, it had the same problem that Dropbox has with this: a textual listing with only timestamps. I need semantic info! Show me the differences. Don't make me choose from this arbitrary list. I want to scan through the versions very, very quickly.

Not sure what you're looking at, but IntelliJ 2020.3 gives me a list w/ timestamps in 1/3 of the modal, then a diff viewer in the other 2/3. I can down-arrow through the versions and the diff updates.

That has been in for quite some time. I don’t remember since when, but at least in the 2019 version.

That's the way it's been for years.
