Is there a VSCode extension that shows commits properly?

Every extension I try seems to think that the commit message is irrelevant. Clicking on a commit to view it only displays the diff, and the commit message itself is usually relegated to some second class workaround such as a hover tooltip that doesn't fully display long commit messages because it doesn't support scrolling, or a small textbox in the sidebar that can never fit the whole commit in a normally sized sidebar.

I just want to click on a commit and see the whole patch. Show me the commit message and metadata on the top, and diff on the bottom. I don't even care if it's not an actual diff view, just the plaintext patch diff is fine, but let me see both diff and commit message without having to jump through hooks.

Basically, I want GitHub Desktop, as a VSCode extension.

Anything like this I might have missed?
