Replication package for "An Empirical Study of Within-Service and Cross-Service Code Clone Lifecycles in Microservice Systems"

Replication package for the paper "An Empirical Study of Within-Service andCross-Service Code Clone Lifecycles in Microservice Systems", submitted fordouble-anonymous review. The study compares the introduction, survival, changes during persistence, anddisappearance of within-service and cross-service clone genealogies over the fullGit histories of 41 open-source microservice projects. The package contains the analysis pipeline, the genealogy-level lifecycle records,the RQ outputs and aggregates, the scripts that output every number, table, andfigure of the paper, and the eight figures. README.md gives a quick start thatneeds neither the subject repositories nor the clone detector, and REPRODUCE.mddescribes the longer reproduction routes.
