Currently we fetch only the last 50 revisions' worth of info. This has two problems:
- On slow connections, the initial payload download can take a couple extra seconds to load things that aren't visible on screen yet: bug 67874
- If there are more than 50 revisions, we're not showing anything beyond that!
An 'infinite scroll' style where we start with just a few revisions and fetch more when you scroll down towards the end should handle this better for most typical cases.
(For huuuuuge histories we might want to be able to jump to points in time, etc which is much fancier -- leave that for later.)
