Understand file change actions codes
Closed this issue · 3 comments

For some reason, while most of dict elements in the list of dict "files" in a commit contain the keys "action", "added" and "removed", some of them don't.
The meaning of the keys "added" and "deleted" is pretty clear, but I don't understand why they would be missing for some commits.
The meaning of the key "action" is clear in most cases, when the value is "A", "D" or "M" (I guess added, deleted, modified). But there are other codes who's meaning is not clear to me. We see occasionally the codes R052, R074, R066, C085, DD, MM.
There are also some other attributes we haven't been using so far ("indexes", "modes") and whose meaning is not clear to me.
We should investigate the meaning of all these codes and attributes and why they are sometimes present and sometimes not.
Some examples:
in commit 10ed9335c327415e31b8432b752d5c5d1bb0a4d1 in (a fork of) jbon/github-mining:
"files": [
{
"added": "9",
"file": "README.md",
"removed": "4"
},
The key "action" is missing.
in commit 83872323d9d5b65b723871b6da76e78ff3c73de0 in jurgenwesterhoff/bGeigieNanoKit:
{
"action": "R066",
"file": "hardware/bGeigieNanoKit.brd",
"indexes": [
"634a725",
"b787bbd"
],
"modes": [
"100755",
"100755"
],
"newfile": "hardware/bGeigieNanoKit/bGeigieNanoKit.brd"
},
The keys "added" and "deleted" are missing.

By the way, sometimes commit don't even have the attribute "file", and that's weird. I don't have an example right now. I'll post one as soon as I find it.
