Looks like doesn't scale well #71

Closed besfahbod closed 4 years ago

besfahbod commented 4 years ago

TL;DR:

 43% (11870586 of 27210192) |###############                    | Elapsed Time: 7 days, 19:07:58 ETA:  40 days, 7:15:53

And, there's no data available after stopping the process, meaning that it will start over on the next run. (So, I think I'm not going to try it again, for now...)

Please let me know if I can provide more info that can help with improving scalability.

I'm looking at the code, and as of now it does every commit. But maybe it would be faster to sample a subset of the commits, instead of checking each commit?

I mean, for a plot spanning 5 years, I guess it would look ok with 1 sample every week or so...

Only thinking out loud here :)

This is supported using the --interval flag: https://github.com/erikbern/git-of-theseus/blob/master/git_of_theseus/analyze.py#L194

Ooo. Another example of that time I did not RTFM. Thanks :)

np it's pretty poorly documented!
