5000 Revisions
Posted by Charlie
A couple of days ago we updated the MapBuzz code base for the 5,000 time in the last 14 months. That equates to 357 changes a month, or 12 updates a day.
Its hard to know what to make of this statistic, since its so dependent on development styles (lots of small changes or fewer big changes), the type of software you are writing, etc. But of curiosity, I wanted to compare it to other projects.
Trac, the software we use for tracking bugs, is up to 5,400 revisions made in about 40 months. So we'll pass them in no time flat :)
Rails, everyone's favorite web framework these days, and what we use to run MapBuzz, is at 6,700 revisions made in about 30 months. So we seem to be on an even faster pace than Rails!
So if success were measured by commits, it seems we are doing pretty well.
