In this paper,we analyze the committed data of developers in Git repository to investigate the distribution of the numbers of files in different commits and the dependency among the files in each commit.We find that the distribution of the number of files in a commit for each project follows approximately apower-law distribution,and files committed by a developer at the same time are likely to dependent on each other.Such analysis of the dependency between the files committed at the same time can help to design better recommender system to predict the next focus of a developer and thus may improve her work efficiency.
