This extension adds a command ''hotfiles'' that displays the ten files the most likely candidates to contain issues. This calculation is done regarding the history of the files, and summing the time they have been modified in a bug-fixing commit in the past time.

{{{
[extensions]

}}}

If your commit mesages includes an indication that they are related to an issue, you can limit the calculation on those commits by introducing the following configuration item:

{{{
[hotfiles]
pattern = issue\d+
}}}
