Description

### Description

Hello,

I would find it useful if there would be a filter field in the diff view in the commit dialog.
Maybe next to the arrows. The filter field I would like to filter e.g. for "*java" so that e.g. files ending in ".form" are excluded.

Research direction

Start by locating the NetBeans commit dialog and its diff view, including the controls near the navigation arrows. Clarify how patterns such as “*java” should filter displayed files, then verify that the dialog exposes the filter and the diff view updates to match it.
