Hi Ludo,
We don't have any specific statistics. Generally we collect very
little data at all. Just enough to avoid abuse. But at the moment we
have a little more data than usual and I can look back through Jan 15
4am through now and grep out those hits.
root@vcs3:/var/log# zgrep /git/guix.git /var/log/nginx/access.log*
310148
A single number like that has little meaning so I selected a handful
of other projects which might be representative.
root@vcs3:/var/log# zgrep /git/grep.git /var/log/nginx/access.log*
809
root@vcs3:/var/log# zgrep /git/findutils.git /var/log/nginx/access.log*
1643
root@vcs3:/var/log# zgrep /git/diffutils.git /var/log/nginx/access.log*
559
root@vcs3:/var/log# zgrep /git/coreutils.git /var/log/nginx/access.log*
4830
root@vcs3:/var/log# zgrep /git/emacs.git /var/log/nginx/access.log*
25418
So yes Guix is by far much more busy than the other projects. Emacs
has auto builders and is not as active as Guix.
Let's compare that to an abuse pattern that has been hitting our CGIT
interface. This is NOT comparable as the CGIT interface consumes many
times more resources rendering a pretty page for human consumption
than the machine consumed git-http-backend which is quite efficient.
root@vcs3:/var/log# zgrep /cgit/$abusepattern /var/log/nginx/access.log*
430463
If I were to make a guess that 430463 through CGIT would compare at
10x the resource hit by guessing and would be more similar to 4304630
through git and as you can tell Guix at 310148 is a much smaller
number by comparison.
