In Limit time frame when calling Gitaly for commit... (#423108 - closed) params were added to constrain commit searches. This was due to searches timing out.

Just providing the user with optional committed_before and committed_after params is not a sufficient UX experience.

As suggested in #423108 (comment 1754190796) we could enhance the UX by the following:

• Capture the Gitaly timeout error and display a more specific error page
• On the error page display a message something like "There was a Gitlay timeout. You can consider selecting a limited date range of commits"
• Provide a form with from and through date ranges, possibly bounded by the earliest commit, which then submit the same parameters as Expose before and after in Projects::CommitsCon... (!143354 - merged)
