Prequel: A Patch-Like Query Language for Commit History Search<br>
Julia Lawall, Inria

The commit history of a code base such as the Linux kernel is a gold mine
of information on how evolutions should be made, how bugs should be fixed,
etc. Nevertheless, the high volume of commits available and the
rudimentary filtering tools provided mean that it is often necessary to
wade through a lot of irrelevant information before finding example commits
that can help with a specific software development problem. To address
this issue, we propose Prequel (Patch Query Language), which brings the
descriptive power of Coccinelle semantic patches to the problem of querying
a commit history. In this talk, we will provide motivating examples, and
present the preliminary design of the language.

This is preliminary, unpublished work. The work is being carried out in
collaboration with Quentin Lambert and Gilles Muller, of Inria.
