In the history view, display also future commits for a particular file

Description

Currently, when you are looking at history of a particular file (example) at a particular point in history, you can only see older versions of the file, but not the newer. I understand that this is how git works internally, but for the non-technical user this is very confusing because they do not know that there might be a newer version available.

Proposal

I would propose that all commits available for a file is shown, while commit just points to a particular (focused) part of that history. This might require additional preprocessing on GitLab part to make this available for rendering, but it would drastically improve how people can use GitLab for collaborative editor of files.
