CodeLens for Git improvements in Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate Update 3 RC
This post details improvements to CodeLens for Git indicators in Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate Update 3 RC. Key enhancements include: automatic refreshing of indicators for Git source control operations (commit, pull, sync, branch change), improved user experience for large files with many changes by showing dimmed placeholders during computation, addition of "when last changed" information to the authors indicator, and the introduction of work item indicators for TfGit when commits are associated with work items. The post also explains how commit messages can associate work items using the "Related Work Items: #1, #3" format and details scenarios where work item information might not be fully retrieved due to connection or permission issues.
