Cannot view complete commit history in a merge request - commits after the 100th are "omitted to prevent performance issues"
Summary
Merge a multi-week project from develop to master with 250 commits. Attempt to use commit history in gitlab (as I used to do with github) to produce release notes for the rest of the business. Cannot, because of "omitted to prevent performance issues" message. Note that the "changes" tab behaves differently, i.e. shows all changes and allows you to expand diffs on files after a certain limit.
Steps to reproduce
Make a merge request with more than 100 commits.
Expected behavior
Pagination, infinite scroll, click to load more - anything.
Actual behavior
The product is critically flawed and will not show you more than 100 commits.
