SVN Commit Contributors
We just created a project for Crown and Cutlass
on ohloh (http://www.ohloh.net/projects/6149), and have been very impressed with the site. The interface is really slick, and the information is very interesting! However, we have found some issues with how commits are mapped back to contributors. For example, here is a commit from our Sourceforge SVN repo:
http://crownandcutlass.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/crownandcutlass?view=rev&revision=814
As you can see, I made that commit. ohloh includes that here:
http://www.ohloh.net/accounts/4983/contributions/6149/commits/10422601
Unfortunately, ohloh also claims that my fellow developer made that commit:
http://www.ohloh.net/accounts/4976/contributions/6149/commits/10422601
I just happen to see that commit comment on his commit list, and thought I remembered that writing that comment so I looked and saw it on my commit list too. We don't share every commit, since our totals are very different. However, now I am concerned about the accuracy of the totals. Any idea what is going on?
Actually, it appears that we share the same commit list, so perhaps the aggregate data is correct, but the contribution lists
give us both credit for everything. Here is my contribution list:
http://www.ohloh.net/accounts/4983/contributions/6149/commits
And here is my team-mate's contribution list:
http://www.ohloh.net/accounts/4976/contributions/6149/commits
Some of those were my commits, some of those were csanford's.
I also discovered that depending on how you view the commit list, you can get accurate data. It appears to give good data if you click on either my X commits
or csanfords Y commits
on this page about the project:
http://www.ohloh.net/projects/6149/analyses/latest/contributors
These are the lists that work:
http://www.ohloh.net/projects/6149/contributors/36333/commits
http://www.ohloh.net/projects/6149/contributors/36334/commits
However, it appears you get bad data if you click on one of the X commits
at the bottom of the chart on our user pages:
http://www.ohloh.net/accounts/4983/positions/1948
http://www.ohloh.net/accounts/4976/positions/1947
That takes you to these lists that list us both as the contributor for every commit:
http://www.ohloh.net/accounts/4983/contributions/6149/commits
http://www.ohloh.net/accounts/4976/contributions/6149/commits
Hopefully that will help.
Hi dthulson,
Yes, there is definitely something wrong here. Thanks for providing a detailed report -- it is very helpful.
I will dig into the code and figure out how we broke this!
This is now fixed. Thanks again for the discovering this -- let me know if you see anything else unusual!
