Clutter on MRs often makes comments hard to see

What

Perhaps a toggle which hides system notes and collapsed discussions. Try the following on a long MR to see what it would be like with just the comments.

li.note.system-note {
    display: none;
}

li.note.note-discussion.timeline-entry {
    display: none;
}

Why

  • Some times it is hard to see what is going on in an MR because there is too much information to scroll past.
  • To get an overview at first I want to see the comments without having to scroll past pages of system notes for rebases, added commits, and collapsed discussions.

To show the scale of this I print-previewed an MR with 87 discussions and it was 18 pages long. After hiding system notes and collapsed discussions it was 4 pages long, one of which was the sidebar.

In some ways this is the opposite problem to https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/34813, but less of a priority to me.
