I have a Visual Studio project/solution in a Git repo. Visual Studio's source control feature works a treat (second screenshot). Thanks "Microsoft Git Provider"
HOWEVER CodeLens shows "0 authors, 0 changes" for every class and method (first screenshot) with tooltip explanations:
no data available for this type
no data available for this method
Any ideas why it could be broken?
More detail: the git repo doesn't have remotes. Visual Studio isn't connected to any Team Foundation server. I'm using the exact version of Git that shipped with Visual Studio 2015 update 1.
>git --version
git version 2.6.2.windows.1
Visual Studio 2015 Update 2 fixed my problem.
