This is work in progress for discussion. I've also been affected by #643 so I'm attempting a fix.
@AArnott I'd welcome comments on the general approach. I've implemented in managed only for now, plan to implement for libgit if/when the managed implementation is acceptable.
The basic idea is to leverage the work of
GitWalkTracker
, keeping track of the commit with greatest height (which I believe should be the relevant commit nearest to the 'current' commit, and only commits that survive path filtering are tracked).Note the comment here - I don't have a deep enough understanding of this scenario to know what should be done.
