Scrollable File/Source view

Description

It would be desirable to allow scrolling within the file source view window (instead of using the browsers scrollbar) so that only the content within the source viewport scrolls - rather than surrounding elements such as the branch selector and Raw/Blame/History/Permalink/Edit/Replace/Delete buttons - because I regularly find myself in the situation where I'm viewing the content of a large source file and then want to quickly switch branch, or switch to Raw/Blame/History views - which means I need to manually scroll back up to the top of the page to view these UI elements.

GitLab CE version at the time of writing: 8.11.x

Proposal

Two immediate solutions come to mind:

• make the content of the source view independently scrollable (perhaps something similar to the scrollbar which currently appears in the File 'Edit' view)
• make the branch selector and Raw/Blame/History/etc buttons 'sticky' so that they are always viewable (or at least 'pinnable') even when you scroll down through the source code...
