The Xcode Source Control functionality freezes.

After enabling Source Control in Xcode 16, when I try to view the History, the app becomes unresponsive for several minutes, and the spinning beach ball appears.

I’m experiencing the same issue with the latest version, Xcode 16.1 beta 2. However, in this version, the functionality works correctly for certain files, while for other files, the issue with the spinning beach ball persists.

I frequently use Source Control in Xcode, and this issue is causing significant inconvenience during app development. Is there any way to resolve this?

also happened with Xcode 16.1 Beta 3 16B5029d (7-Oct) 🤨

Inline is working fine. Side-by-Side produces beachball. -- but: after force quit, the comparison side by side is shown.
