The history algorithm currently recalculates the whole history for the repository on every run. However, most of the things in a repo do not change on each commit. I introduced a cache that memorizes the last ten calculation results so that we can reuse them later. This bring the history calculation in most cases down from O(N) to O(1) for N = number of commits in repo.
