Show history for any object in history dialog

[Aborigini]

There are already proposals for merging the selection dialog and the history dialog. See...

• The history dialog is confusing unless you know how it works

(​http://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/3515)

• Add search history to the search dialog

(​http://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/3434)

I support them, too. The advanced idea is furthermore to search for any object by ID,
which is not necessarily in the downloaded data - for example because this object has been deleted in an previous changeset.

I know, you can browse for the object history in openstretmap.org,
but this is targeted on an subsequent revert feature over the history dialog.
(feature request will follow)

(In [2239]) see #3626: Show history for any object in history dialog (partially fixed)

In 6448/josm:

fix #3626 - Show history for any object in history dialog

If no object is selected, the objects are selected by id via dialog.

History does not work anymore for a single selected closed way (tested with way 62386907).
