It matches the line-by-line version information of a clone to the pair's other clone. A case study on the GNOME Desktop Suite revealed a complex flow of reused code between the different subprojects. In particular, it showed that the majority of larger clones (with a minimal size of 28 lines or higher) exist between the subprojects and more than 60% of the clone pairs can be automatically separated into original and copy. %B 2010 7th IEEE Working Conference on Mining Software Repositories (MSR 2010)2010 7th IEEE Working Conference on Mining Software Repositories (MSR 2010) %I IEEE %C Cape Town, South Africa %P 98 - 101 %@ 978-1-4244-6802-7 %R 10.1109/MSR.2010.5463290 %> https://flosshub.org/sites/flosshub.org/files/98Coning.pdf
