Refactor: Refactor line counting script
Refactor the total line count script to use git worktree, which avoids checkout in the working directory, and replace os.next with linux calls. Whilst this is cleaner, it also won't be supported by Windows.
Improvements:
- Checks out the repo in a separate tmp directory, rather than checking out commits in the current repo
* Use of multiprocessing to speed up checkout of commits, distributing over Removedn_processes
- Git commit sampling frequency controlled with
alphato reduce the number of commits sampled for plotting
Resulting line count plot, generated locally using alpha=0.01 takes only a few minutes to produce:
