Description Nick Boldt

Instead of returning the size of the new file, the CHANGE_SIZE is recorded as 0, which means that, for example, the 366 new files that user thabeck [1],[2],[3] created in July 2007 do NOT contribute to his LOC stats [4].

How does this data get from CVS into the database, and where/how can I change this?

Note also that I think deletes/recovers [5] and tag/branch operations may also return a CHANGE_SIZE of 0, which is probably acceptable here. It's just the initial commits that need to be calculated larger, IMHO.

We've a related issue in that SVN does not report lines of code at all.  That number is largely invalid at this point.  How should we handle this whole issue?

Well, when a new file is created, enter the # of LOC as the LOC of the initial commit -- `wc -l $thefile`.

For svn... no clue, I'm still living in Prehistoria with my bronze-age implements and CVS. :)

We don't have plans to work on this bug (i.e., we're ok with how it works) but are happy to accept a patch from the community to add this feature.
If you add a patch, please change the priority from P5 back to P3 so it will appear on our queries.
