Description
Placeholder data from treeDetails is storing the last time there was data, so if you change from commit 1 with data, go to commit 2 without data and then to a commit 3 without data as well, the transition from commit 2 to 3 will show the data from the first commit.
This is a visual bug, doesn't affect performance nor breaks the dashboard.

Research direction
Reproduce the transition described for treeDetails: move from a commit with data to two consecutive commits without data, and observe the dashboard display. Trace where placeholderdata retains the earlier value; done means the transition between the two data-less commits no longer shows data from the first commit.
