Hi Everyone (and especially Automotive Grade OS SIG),
in the field of traceability on token level commits, there will be an ELISA seminar tomorrow. Long story short that is the next level of git blame.

Title: Cregit: token-level history of Linux
Date: Wednesday, August 7, 2024, 8:00-9:00 Pacific / 15:00-16:00 UTC / 17:00-18:00 CET
Speaker: Daniel German, Professor of Computer Science, University of Victoria
Rough content:
One of the major disadvantages of gitβs blame command is that the minimum unit of change it tracks is the line of text. To address this issue, University of Victoria developed Cregit (http://github.com/cregit/cregit),
a set of tools the permits that traceability of each token of the source code of a git repository.
Using cregit the origin of each token of the kernel since release 4.7 was successfully documented at
https://cregit.linuxsources.org/
This presentation will provide an overview of how cregit works and demonstrate how to use the Linux cregit website.
