We address three aspects: data extraction, analysis and visualization. We first discuss the challenges of CVS data extraction and storage, and propose a flexible way to deal with CVS implementation inconsistencies. We next present a new technique to enrich the raw data with information about artifacts showing similar evolution. Finally, we propose a visualization backend and show its applicability on industry-size repositories. %B Proceedings of the 2006 international workshop on Mining software repositories %S MSR '06 %I ACM %C New York, NY, USA %P 33–39 %@ 1-59593-397-2 %U http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/1137983.1137993 %R http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/1137983.1137993
