Git history for individual file does not show all past commits

Post by waqarmn »

Hi,

I am facing an issue with the Git history tab for individual files. It does not show all the commits associated with individual files. The same commits are properly shown in the overall branch history. In the individual file history for the file titled us.dir.usac.34.dita, it only shows one commit dated 27 October 2025

. But if we look at the branch history, we can see that the same file was committed and pushed on 17 October 2025 as well

. This bug is making individual file's git history to be unreliable. If you could look into this, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Currently, the Git History feature should display the complete history of a file—from its creation up to the present (or until it’s deleted).

I tried to reproduce the issue you described by creating a file with a similar name, making several commits, pushes, and renames, but it worked correctly on my end.

To help us investigate further, could you please provide a bit more detail?
1) Which version of the Git Client add-on are you using?
2) Are the files in question stored in the same location and have exactly the same name?
3) Does this issue occur consistently for all files in the repository, or only for specific ones? If possible, could you share the steps to reproduce the problem?

Best regards,
