Abstract
In one example implementation, an example system includes a dependency engine, a filter engine, and a cluster engine. In the one example implementation, a file pair of a first commit log entry of a plurality of commit log entries in a commit history is identified by the dependency engine. In the one example implementation, a dependency rank is assigned to the file pair by the dependency engine based on a number of times the first file of the file pair and the second file of the file pair appear together in the plurality of commit log entries. In the one example implementation, a dependency rank is compared to a confidence rank by the filter engine. In the one example implementation, a second file is indicated as dependent on a first file when the dependency rank of the file pair achieves the confidence rank.
