Pavi,

I suggest that if you get the chance, check out their code browser. Click on one of the bugs in the Linux project and then click the folder icon at the top of the lower left pane to get to the source code. It's ability to cross reference is the best out there. It eliminates all the false positives in cross reference results that you get from more traditional token matching based browsers like cscope, ctags, etc.
