Continuously mining distributed version control systems: an empirical study of how Linux uses Git
2015
Empirical Software Engineering
Distributed version control systems (D-VCSs-such as git and mercurial) and their hosting services (such as Github and Bitbucket) have revolutionalized the way in which developers collaborate by allowing them to freely exchange and integrate code changes in a peer-to-peer fashion. However, this flexibility comes at a price: code changes are hard to track because of the proliferation of code repositories and because developers modify ("rebase") and filter ("cherry-pick") the history of these
