First, we developed a set of Python scripts that validated and corrected repository commit data, for instance to deal with small mistakes performed by developers that submitted code with Unrecognized author (no email address), Unrecognized author (with email address) or with an invalid email.
The Blacklight Development Google Group has posts going back to 2009, and the GitHub repository has commits back to 2009 as well.
Start by creating a competitive intel repository and committing to its maintenance.
Since 2011, the conventions used in commit messages are enforced by a Mercurial hook that prevents pushing to Mozilla repositories any commits whose message does not conform to conventions3.
Thus, if commit N is created over commit N – 1, the existence of commit N in a given repository implies that commit N – 1 also exists in the repository.
The process underneath DyeVC can be formally defined using Set Theory, in order to describe how the data is structured and how DyeVC can play with this data to identify the repositories that are ahead or behind of other repositories, showing the commits that are missing or that belong to specific branches.
However, they do not provide an overview of the topology of repositories, indicating which commits belong to which clones.
As previously discussed, the first version of DyeVC struggled when dealing with larger repositories (over 6500 commits).
Moreover, as the previous version of DyeVC struggled when dealing with large repositories (over 6500 commits), we also added an automatic collapsing feature.
This paper discusses the differences and relationships between source code (usually written in a programming language) and these other files, by analyzing the KDE software versioning repository (with about 6,800,000 commits and 450,000 files).
The repository size, number of commits, and number of files are higher, as shown in Table 6.
