Since I just committed my last OmniDazzle fix (at least until QA tracks me down…), I thought I’d share a fun graph.
Omni has been using source control systems like CVS and Subversion since forever. A while back, we converted to Subversion and imported most of our CVS repository (none of our old consulting projects, just our apps). Here is a graph of the number of commits in our repository over the last 13 years.
commits per time period, or continuously summed?

Given that the legend of the chart says “Version”, I imagine that it is continuously summed, since each commit increments the version number in Subversion.

If it’s summed, maybe a plot of this graph’s gradient, e.g. commits per month, would be more telling.
Looks like you’ve been fairly stable for the last 2 years.

Yeah, this is just the absolute number of commits at any point in time. We were talking about going a commits/period graph, but I don’t think there is too mcuh to learn in any circumstance — it’s just a fun graph

“maybe a plot of this graph’s gradient, e.g. commits per month, would be more telling.”
The graph looks like an exponential, which would mean that the gradient would also be an exponential.
