How to iterate over commits to see how a project evolved over time?

[davidsneighbour]

Is there any advice available as to how I would go on to iterate over all available commits of a repo/branch to create an array of loc-data per commit? This would be interesting for info about the "evolution" of a project over time.

I had a similar problem. I solved this by writing code that checks out (git checkout hash) each desired commit, measures, stores and then repeat the cycle. PHPLOC does not provide it. That is however really resource consuming and it takes a lot of time to calculate. I have tried it with the symfony/symfony repository but it takes ages because currently it has around 480+ tags. :) good luck.

This functionality has been removed in PHPLOC 4.0.0.
