* perf(vcs): filter the Git log with git log instead of a background search index
The log built a persistent inverted index of every commit's message, authors and
changed paths in the background, with a progress bar above the commit list, and
walked trees itself to filter by path. Building it took minutes on large
repositories, and filters were slow until it finished.
- Text: plain text uses `git log --fixed-strings --grep` (with
`--regexp-ignore-case` unless Match Case is on); text of 4+ hex digits also
matches hash prefixes. Regex filters still match in-process.
- Paths: `git log -- :(literal)<paths>` replaces the in-process path walk and
its per-commit tree cache. It uses git's history simplification and, when the
repository has a changed-path commit-graph, its Bloom filters. Glob characters
in a path are literal.
- Authors match against the commit metadata cache.
- Removed the search tables, `index_log`, the `vcs_log_index` command and the
indexing progress bar. The commit metadata cache stays.
* docs(contributing): ask for screenshots only when a change alters what users see
Removing a feature together with its UI, copy-only and non-visual changes now
describe what was checked instead of attaching before/after screenshots.
* fix(vcs): match case-insensitive non-ASCII Git log text in process
git folds case only for ASCII under the C locale it runs with, so a
case-insensitive filter like "ärger" missed "Ärger". Such text is now
matched against commit messages directly. Path and text selection also
ignore log.showSignature and log.follow from the user's config.
Git Log could lose commits when filtering by several paths, draw wrong
ancestry after filtering or collapsing rows, and open the wrong
repository in multi-root views. The graph is now projected over the full
commit DAG and laid out in Bek order, so filtered and collapsed views keep
the real ancestry; each log view keeps its own filters and requests.
Commit metadata, messages and path changes are kept in a persistent index
(by object id, in the IDE's cache directory) with seekable paging, and the
log gains parent-aware merge comparisons, a lazy revision browser,
read-only logs of repositories outside the project (opened with command
execution disabled), commit bookmarks, configurable built-in columns and
batched commit details. The adapted IntelliJ algorithms are attributed in
THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.md.
