Thanks for the speedy and helpful response, Robin! I'm sure you hear it all the time, but your attention to user questions is a big factor in why ohloh works so well. Other services (both free and ... [More] paid) should be taking notes. Keep up the great work! [Less]

Hi, I made some manual tweaks to the early Subversion history of my project, libdmtx, so that ohloh can show all revisions back to 2005-2006. I reimported the updated repository to SourceForge.net ... [More] and everything looks fine, but after several successful syncs ohloh still shows my project to be 7 months old (which is when I switched from CVS to SVN). I have been careful to maintain sequential dates and a consistent directory structure (/trunk) throughout the commit history. My question: Does the ohloh SVN sync process do a full refresh of history every time, or is it only adding on small deltas that include the last few revisions? If full, I might need a hint as to where the sync process is dropping my old (> 7 months ago) commits. Thanks! Mike (mblaughton) [Less]

Hi Robin, Are there any plans for Ohloh to consider the "libtool" shell script to be its own separate grouping, much like what happens with configure/autoconf? For my small C project (libdmtx) the ... [More] actual C code might never grow bigger than the scripts generated by Autotools. Ordinarily this wouldn't be a big deal, but I'm a little worried that people learning about my project for the first time might be scared off by the prominent "Mostly written in shell script" on the summary page. Those who are seeking a high performance library might immediately move on to the next search result without reading any further. Thanks, Mike [Less]

Hi Robin, thanks for your quick response. Are there any plans to give your Subversion importer the ability to see history before directory moves? Ironically the only reason I spent so much effort ... [More] merging my SVN history was because I got tired of Ohloh telling me that my project had a "Short source control history". Instead, now it just looks like I wrote 17,000 lines of code yesterday. :) [Less]

I may be experiencing a similar issue; I did something similar today and I'm missing all but the most recent commit. My situation is for http://www.ohloh.net/projects/libdmtx, for which I added an ... [More] enlistment today with history going back to 2006. However it only shows one commit. That one commit is from today, in which I moved all my files and directories from "/" to "/trunk" in Subversion. [Less]
