Motivation and Background
I was trying to make a VS extension that implements something like GitLens on VSCode. If you don't know what that is that's ok. It has a lot of features, but the main thing that I use it for is to view per line blame along with the commit message like so:
I am using libgit2sharp to develop my extension. Currently I'm using
repo.Blame(filePath)to get grab theBlameHunkCollectionand display the message on a line using the VS extensibility api.repo.Blameusesgit_blame_fileunder the hood andgit_blame_filehas a couple of issues for my usecase:Purpose of this PR
I am creating this PR to start a discussion for adding something similar to
git_blame_buffertolibgit2sharp. There might be a better way to implement this functionality, and I would to get some feedback and bounce ideas to add this feature to the library in the best way possible.
