After sending out a response, I re-read your message because I
did not quite get where bayesian would come into the picture.

I think I should have used the word "topic branch" instead of
"topic".  In other words, I was not interested in sifting the
various totally unrelated linear commits into groups that deal
with distinct problems.

But again you are showing your superiour intelligence by setting
the problem in a much grander scheme ;-), where there is no such
developer discipline that would help the shortlogger (like use
of topic branches).  In such a case, you would need a set of
heuristics that you described.
