    Thanks for the feedback Jesse

    We acknowledge your concern and you are right that this is currently not done due to performance considerations. We traverse the history until a page rename and I agree we could do better. I hear you that just showing 1 author, 1 changes, (moved) is a possible solution or the other option could be to traverse the git history of the file. We need to think of the most appropriate solution here.

    I request you to please add this as a new feature request here so that we can track it on our backlog. I request others to upvote it so that you can get updates on when we start working on this feature.

    I will close this ticket as a suggestion once you share the user voice so that others landing on this feedback item know where to upvote.

    Thank you again.

    I found a similar issue here:

    https://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio-ide/suggestions/11358240-read-all-git-history-of-a-file

    If everyone is ok with the name and description then we can all add our votes to that to increase the visibility of the issue with the VS team.
