Before the recent changes, TAB cycled visibility not only on file headings,
but also on hunk headings.  It was very useful to use TAB to cycle visibility
on hunk headings on a long patch where navigating to the file heading
to be able to use TAB on it will take too much time.  It's much easier
to navigate to the nearest hunk heading to cycle its visibility.
