Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for attributing external dependencies in a software project. One of the methods includes receiving data representing a child snapshot and a parent snapshot in a revision graph of a software project. One or more pairs of matching source code files is identified, and for each pair having a first file and second file, a first count of external dependencies on an external dependency target in the first file and a second count of external dependencies on the external dependency target in the second file are computed. If the first count is different than the second count, an introduction or a removal of one or more external dependencies on the external dependency target in the second file of the pair of matching source code files is attributed to an author of the child snapshot.
