That is what I entered issue for. :-)

I keep history view on my Java perspective stacked with other views
such as Console, Search, etc. to have it handy. Because I have projects
from both CVS and SVN repositories currently I ended up with 3 history
views (cvs, subclipse and subversive) and they clutter the UI. So, it
would help if I can eliminate at least Subclipse's proprietory history
view and reuse common History view.

I agree and don't want those troubles either. So, the plan is to add
custom page to History view, but content of that page and most of the
implementation would be exactly the same as current Subclipse history view.
