Intellij idea - how to show more revisions in VCS history?

In intellij Idea, I see only about past 600 revisions in the Changes->Repository tab. Is there some way to increase this number? In the settings, I've unchecked

Version Control->Limit history by:

and set

Version Control->Background->VCS History Cache Settings-> Changelists to cache initialy to 5000

but after refresh of the VCS, I still see the same amount of revisions. The other options in the Version Control settings are unchecked except for Notify about VCS root errors

I use IntelliJ Idea 12.1.6 and VCS is SVN 1.7

You can use Version Control window to see all changed files (⌘-9). Then you can select file and press ⌘-D to view diff for it. On Linux it is Alt+9 to view changed files list (menu item View→Tool Windows→Version Control), then Ctrl+D to open a file's diff. The feature is documented here jetbrains.com/help/idea/….

When you click on refresh button of the

Changes > Repository

tab the first time, it appears VCS History cache settings dialog box. Since this box, you are able to modify :

  • Change lists to cache initially
  • Refresh changes every ... minutes.

If you changes these two values, I think you can increase revisions in VCS history.

If this dialog box don't appers, you can change this values since Setting>Version control>background menu> section History cache settings

Once the change is done, clear the cache - click the red "X" on the VCS panel. Unless you did that, the change is not applied. After that, click refresh again and your older revisions will appear.
