Option to exclude revisions to work items where nothing changes

[nickn00]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There are a large number of transactions with ADO to add "revisions" to a work item where nothing changes. This slows down the import into ADO and triggers a resource consumption limit on the ADO server.

Describe the solution you'd like
Don't import revisions where no change occurs

Describe alternatives you've considered
A script to parse the json files and remove superfluous revisions

I've done some more checking and found that the revisions where nothing changes are due to incorrect field mapping on my side, but it would be useful to have the option to exclude certain changes, such as changes to time spent, time remaining, etc.

These changes cause thousands of extra updates during the import in my case, which slows the import down and could be excluded, if others have the same problem?

Agreed. I will work on implementing this feature soonish. At the moment there are more pressing bugs that need my attention though :)

If you want to have a crack at it yourself, you should edit here and add a check that verifies that the revision actually contains some fields, links or attachments: https://github.com/solidify/jira-azuredevops-migrator/blob/c8127881271424b428ff2d13547ebbe91bb6dea7/src/WorkItemMigrator/WorkItemImport/ExecutionPlanBuilder.cs#L40C38-L40C38
