Filter on attributes in artifact history

Context:
When browsing the history of the artifact, all of the modification appear, with no priorities. Every little modification is mixed with the important modifications.

Problem:
Some modifications are unimportant and cloud the important ones, that we need to analyze.

Impact:
Every time we have to analyze the history of a module, an artifact, or a changeset, we have to spend a lot of time on irrelevant evolutions. It is very frustrating for users, and raises the costs of impact analysis.

Goal of the idea:
To simplify impact analysis, reducing costs and user frustration

Why it is useful ?:
Impact analysis are usually done with urgency, every delay has a big impact on the costs and deadlines of programs. It is also a frequent activity in product lines contexts.

How should it work ?:
We would like to be able to filter the history, on which attributes have been modified. That way, we can quickly sort through the history and find the important modifications we are looking for.
It would be even better if we could read the full version of an artifact at the time of a modification. That way, when trying to reconstruct the order of modifications, we can easily see what version we were working on at past times, and not only what was modified. It could be accessed by clicking on a modification, for example.

    Yes - this is something we would really love to see! It take forever to try and find the important details to trouble shoot an issue on a work item in the history tab because of all the noise with irrelevant information
