Code and process metrics generally assume a single repository must be analyzed, in order to measure the characteristics of a codebase. Thus they are not apt to measure how much relevant information is hosted in multiple repositories contributing to the same codebase. Nor can they feature the characteristics of such a distributed development process. We present a set of novel metrics, based on an original classification of commits, conceived to capture some interesting aspects of a multi–repository development process. We also describe an efficient way to build a data structure that allows to compute these metrics on a set of Git repositories. Interesting outcomes, obtained by applying our metrics on a large sample of projects hosted on GitHub, show the usefulness of our contribution. %B Proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Emerging Trends in Software Metrics - WETSoM 2014 %I ACM Press %C New York, New York, USA %P 37 - 43 %@ 9781450328548 %U http://marbiaz.github.io/docs/Biazzini14b.pdf %!

Furthermore, we can predict the number of future Eclipse defects based on the nature of defect growth. %B Proceedings of the 2008 international working conference on Mining software repositories %S MSR '08 %I ACM %C New York, NY, USA %P 141–144 %@ 978-1-60558-024-1 %U http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/1370750.1370785 %R http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/1370750.1370785
