Can Continua-CI detect which changeset / user caused a build failure in MSBuild / VisualStudio build runner actions?

No, I don’t believe this is possible, if there is more than one changeset, there’s no way to attribute a compilation failure to specific change, for example if I change file a, b and c in different changesets, and the compiler fails on something in file d, how can I tell which change caused it… there’s not always a correlation between the changed files and where errors occur.
