Hi Everybody, I am professor of computer science at the University of Victoria (Canada). During the last year and a half, we have been trying to track the commits as they move in the entire linux git repos ecosystem. We have amassed a good amount of data that tell us for every commit (and in fact for every unique patch inside a commit) where it has been and whether it has reached linus or not ---or any other repository, as a matter of fact. please look at the following URLs: http://o.cs.uvic.ca:20810/perl/cid.pl?cid=9753dfe19a85e7e45a34a56f4cb2048bb4f50e27 http://o.cs.uvic.ca:20810/perl/cid.pl?cid=55345fb9ff68e2e5c0259c814542e72aec972c02 or http://o.cs.uvic.ca:20810/perl/cid.pl?cid=e59bcdae87ec116dde25da6d725f79fefb253693 it will give you an idea of the data we have. You can also track other commits using the input box, if you are interested. I wonder if this information is of use to any of you. If you have specific needs on how you think this info (and some more we have) can be of use, please let me know. By the way, I'll be at the Linux Collaboration Summit next week (I am involved with the development of SPDX). If any of you is interested to meet, please let me know, --daniel german dmg@xxxxxxx http://turingmachine.org -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
