README
frecenfile
frecenfile computes frecency scores for files in Git repositories. Frecency combines the frequency and recency of events.
This is useful as a heauristic for finding relevant or trending files when all you have to work with is the commit history.
Performance
frecenfile is highly scalabe, producing a sorted output within miliseconds for mid-sized repositories, and processing the entire commit history Linux in under a minute. Processing the last 3000 commits in the Linux repository takes just around a second.
For most purposes, the results should be easily cacheable.
Git history
By default, frecenfile processes the last 3000 commits, but this can be modified using the --max-commits
flag. Processing an excessive amounts of commits would not usually be usueful, as "trending" files
are not likely to be buried deep in the commit history. Processing only a smaller amount of commits is not
likely to be needed for performance reasons, but might be useful for some use cases.
