To make it interesting, maybe a Squeak method should equate to the
gource "file" in the Custom Log Format.
It looks like more than the changes file would have to be used.  There
are a couple of non-obvious things, like where the path of the "file"
comes from.
To get what I originally envisioned, apparently the real trick is in
picking a good set of change files.  I never really browsed through
the
complete changes file much before, and it looks like there is a lot
less there than what I naively thought.  I was envisioning "The
Complete Squeak History" but that seems unrealistic now.  Maybe.

Cheers,
Dave

Class category and name might already be sufficient to get a nice visualization, e.g.

        Collections/Sequenceable/Heap.st

for class Heap in category Collections-Sequenceable. This would match in other languages, which often use one file per class.

Wouldn't the traffic from  [hidden email] give you suitable
data, all by itself?
