enhancement: provide search for files in `Changes` tab

See original GitHub issue

Description

I have lot of uncommitted files so I can’t find files which I want to commit easily. There are lot of uncommitted stuff because I’m testing some feature then committing it, while doing this I’m making some changes on some files for future. Then I’m working on uncommitted stuff but I change another files…

Searching / filtering files in Changes tab would make things more comfortable. Ordering in Changes tab is also weird. It order files by name but not by folder.

For instance: … src/light/light.c src/memory.c src/node.c src/pass/pas_out.c src/transform.c <-- I need to commit this to fix a bug but it is hard to find it in list src/transp/transp.c

Expected behavior: first order files by name then order folders by name (recursively) … src/memory.c src/node.c src/transform.c <– src/light/light.c src/pass/pas_out.c src/transp/transp.c

or tree view could also help like SourceTree.app

This seems like extremely basic functionality which is missing. In large projects, this is unusable. I need a way to search by file extension, name, etc. It’s in every other source control GUI I’ve used. https://i.imgur.com/ddQa7Ar.png
