analyse and resolve Squashed commits

[jonnytest1]

when Squashing the commits of a branch there is an option to collect the commit message in the format

Squashed commit of the following:
commit [commitid](link)
Author: author <author mail>
Date:   clommitdate

    commit msg

commit2 [commit2id](link2)
Author: author2 <author2 mail>
Date:   commit2date

    commit2 msg

those should be parsed and evaluated to display the actual commit message/author next to the corresponging line (with an insication about being a squased commit and the possiblity to view the complete commit)

I'm not sure I understand the request here. Can you provide more details on what you would want GitLens to do here? Thanks!

if a commit is a squashed commits with commit refs in the commit message gitlens should show the author of the original commit instead of the sqashed one

example:

1. "test commit message" from author 1
   • changes: file1.txt line 2
2. "test2 commit message" from author 2
   • changes: file2.txt line 4

if these 2 get squashed together into a single commit with message:

Squashed commit of the following:
commit [commitid](link)
Author: author 1 <author mail>
Date:   clommitdate

    test commit message

commit2 [commit2id](link2)
Author: author 2 <author2 mail>
Date:   commit2date

    test2 commit message

and the above commit message template is used
then its possible to split up the resulting single commit by looking up all the mentioned commit ids in the message

then when hovering above a line instead of displaying the squashed commits message it is more helpful to instead(or at least additionally) display the author of the sub commit

or in case of above:
when hovering above file1.txt line 2

1. find the blame commit for line (will result in squashed commit)
2. check if it is a squashed commit by matching against above template
3. extract all commit ids
4. lookup changes of commitids in order and find the correct commit for the line (in this case "test commit message" from author 1)
5. display that instead
