[Statcvs-users] question on generation

[Aaron Z. <az...@MI...>]

Hi, I'm currently working on a research project that is a nice 
visualization that shows the relationship between code and 
communication in open source projects.  Now that I have my 
visualization built, I need to get real data.  I'm new to dealing with 
CVS in terms of analysis, and uour project seemed like it would help a 
lot.  I basically need to know who owns what lines of code at what 
point in time.  However, I'm not quite sure how you get the statistics 
that you do only from the "cvs log" command.  Your generated reports 
indicate that you can know that "cyganiak" has 4323 lines of code, but 
how are you getting this information?  That is, cvs logs give you

revision 1.2
date: 2003/03/25 01:20:13;  author: lukasz;  state: Exp;  lines: +20 -2
Minor code review tasks.
Added some javadocs
Fixed some unhandled Exceptions


So you know that lukasz added 20 lines of code, but you don't know 
who's -2 he got rid of, so how could you properly deduct them from the 
right other people?

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Aaron
