Description

history-v2 feature, if enabled, displays rich messages to history snippet.

For example, it when enabled it shows "Merged 2 duplicate author records into this master. See details." and not enabled, it shows "merge authors".

IIRC, we tried to enable this feature for everyone and noticed some performance issues and reverted back. We need to revisit that and enable it for everyone without any performance issues.
