# This script applies a heuristic to group multiple checkins as one change if
# a) they are within a user specified time interval of each other
# b) the change descriptions match
# c) the authors match
# d) no file appears twice
#
# Changes are searched for within the user specified time interval; they do
# not have to be adjacent.  e.g. if the time interval is 10 minutes and the
# following operations occurred between 9:00 and 9:10:
# 1 edit foo.c#2 9:00 by papa 'don't allow gear retraction if weight on wheels'
# 2 add blah.c#1 9:00 by papa 'don't allow gear retraction if weight on wheels'
# 3 edit bar.c#4 9:00 by mama 'overspeed sensor wasn't read properly before'
# 4 edit bap.c#7 9:02 by baby 'wrong attendant call button lit up'
# 5 edit goo.c#2 9:05 by papa 'rudder controls were backward'
# 6 edit baz.c#8 9:08 by mama 'overspeed sensor wasn't read properly before'
# 7 add foop.c#1 9:09 by papa 'don't allow gear retraction if weight on wheels'
# 8 edit foo.c#3 9:09 by papa 'fix typo in comment'
#
# then changes 1,2, and 7 will be amalgamated as one change (changes 3,4,6
# are by a different author, change 5 has a different change description,
# change 8 involves the same file as change 1).
#
# The next step will involve examining all changes within 10 minutes
# of change 3; this is the same list.  Now changes 3 and 6 will be
# amalgamated as one change.
#
# The next step will involve examining all changes within 10 minutes
# of change 4; that may involve examining, say,
# 9 add goop.c#1 9:11 by baby 'wrong attendant call button lit up'
# So now change 4 and 9 will be amalgamated.  etc..
#
# This process of looking ahead is typically called a "sliding window".
# Only the revisions within the search time interval are in memory at any
# given time.  Once objects are no longer referenced in Perl, they disappear.
# This should avoid problems with running out of memory.
#
# RHGC - fixed problem with more than one "unget" being called at a time.
