Add:
    bitshift/crawler/crawler.py
        -Add more efficient method of querying GitHub's API for stargazer
        counts, by batching 25 repositories per request.
        -Add watcher counts for Bitbucket repositories, by querying the
        Bitbucket API once per repository (inefficient, but the API in question
        isn't sufficiently robust to accommodate a better approach, and Git
        repositories surface so infrequently that there shouldn't be any query
        limit problems).

Several of the closed issues were addressed partly in previous commits;
definitively close them with this, for the moment, final update to the crawler
package.

Ref:
    bitshift/crawler/indexer.py
            -move all `GitIndexer` specific functions (eg, `_decode`,
            `_is_ascii()`)from the global scope to the class definition.

Add:
    bitshift/
        __init__.py
            -add `_configure_logging()`, which sets up a more robust logging
            infrastructure than was previously used: log files are rotated once
            per hour, and have some additional formatting rules.

        (crawler, indexer).py
            -add hierarchically-descending loggers to individual threaded
            classes (`GitHubCrawler`, `GitIndexer`, etc.); add logging calls.

        indexer.py
            -remove file filtering regex matches from `_get_tracked_files()`,
            as non-code files will be discarded by the parsers.

Add:
    bitshift/crawler/crawler.py
        -add `_get_repo_stars()` to `GitHubCrawler`, which queries the GitHub
        API for the number of a stars that a given repository has.
        -log the `next_api_url` every time it's generated by `GitHubCrawler` and
        `BitbucketCrawler` to two respective log-files.

Add:
    bitshift/crawler/*.py
        -Remove use of the `logging` module, which appeared to be causing a
        memory leak even with log-file rotation.

Add:
    bitshift/crawler/
        (crawler, indexer).py
            -comment out all logging statements, as they may be causing a
            memory leak (the crawler is meant to run perpetually, meaning that,
            depending on how the `logging` module is implemented, it may be
            accumulating logged strings in memory.)

        bitshift/crawler/indexer.py
            -make `_index_repository()` and `_index_repository_codelets()`
            functions of the `GitIndexer` class.
            -replace `_get_tracked_files()` subprocess call, which found the
            files in a Git repository and removed any that were non-ASCII, with
            a pure Python solution.
            -add `_is_ascii()`.

Add:
    bitshift/crawler/
        __init__.py
            -Initialize 'BitbucketCrawler()' singleton.
            -Instantiate all thread instances on-the-fly in a 'threads' array, as
            opposed to individual named variables.

        crawler.py
            -Add 'BitbucketCrawler()', to crawl Bitbucket for repositories.
            -Not entirely tested for proper functionality.
            -The Bitbucket framework is not yet accounted for in
            'indexer._generate_file_url()'.

Add:
    bitshift/crawler/
        __init__.py
            -Initialize 'BitbucketCrawler()' singleton.
            -Instantiate all thread instances on-the-fly in a 'threads' array, as
            opposed to individual named variables.

        crawler.py
            -Add 'BitbucketCrawler()', to crawl Bitbucket for repositories.
            -Not entirely tested for proper functionality.
            -The Bitbucket framework is not yet accounted for in
            'indexer._generate_file_url()'.

Add:
    bitshift/crawler/indexer.py
        -Add 'pkill git' to the 'git clone' subprocess in '_clone_repository()',
        to kill hanging remotes -- it's un-Pythonic, but, thus far, the only
        method that's proved successful. The RAM problem still persists; the
        latest dry-run lasted 01:11:00 before terminating due to a lack of
        allocatable memory.
        -Add exception names to `logging` messages.

    bitshift/assets
        -Update 'tag()' docstring to current 'bitshift' standards (add a ':type'
        and ':rtype:' field).

Add:
    bitshift/crawler/
        (crawler, indexer).py
            -add  a 'time.sleep()' call whenever a thread is blocking on items
            in a Queue, to prevent excessive polling (which hogs system
            resources).

        indexer.py
            -move 'git clone' functionality from the 'GitIndexer' singleton to
            a separate, threaded '_GitCloner'.
            -'crawler.GitHubCrawler' now shares a "clone" queue with
            '_GitCloner', which shares an "index" queue with 'GitIndexer'.
            -both indexing and cloning are time-intensive processes, so this
            improvement should (hypothetically) boost performance.
            -add `GitRepository` class, instances of which are passed around in
            the queues.

Add:
    bitshift/crawler/(__init__, crawler, indexer).py
        -add `logging` module to all `bitshift.crawler` modules, for some basic
        diagnostic output.

Add:
    bitshift/crawler/indexer.py
        -add two `try: except: pass` blocks, one to _decode() and another to
        GitIndexer.run(); bad practice, but GitIndexer has numerous unreliable
        moving parts that can throw too many unforseeable exceptions. Only
        current viable option.
        -add file-extension regex ignore rules (for text, markdown, etc. files)
        to _get_tracked_files().

Add:
    bitshift/crawler/indexer.py
        -add _debug().
        -add content to the module docstring; add documentation to GitIndexer,
        and the functions that were lacking it.
        -add another perl one-liner to supplement the `git clone` subprocess
        call, which terminates it after a set amount of time (should it have
        frozen) -- fixes a major bug that caused the entire indexer to hang.

Add, Fix:
    bitshift/crawler/
        __init__.py
            -add module and crawl() docstrings.
            -add repository_queue size limit.

        crawler.py
            -account for time spent executing an API query in the run() loop
            sleep() interval.

Additions are not tested and not yet documented.

Add:
    crawler.py
        -add threaded GitHubCrawler class, which interacts with a GitIndexer
        via a Queue.

    git_indexer.py
        -add threaded GitIndexer class, which interacts with GitHubCrawler via
        a Queue.
        -rename context-manager ChangeDir class to _ChangeDir, because it's
        essentially "private".

    __init__.py
        -add body to crawl(), which creates instances of GitHubCrawler and
        GitIndexer and starts them.

Add:
    bitshift/crawler/git_indexer.py
        -add some missing docstrings, complete others.

Add:
    bitshift/crawler/git_indexer.py
        -add ChangeDir class, a context-management wrapper for os.chdir().
        -replace unsafe "rm -rf" subprocess call with shutil.rmtree()

Add:
    bitshift/codelet.py
        -add name field to Codelet.

    bitshift/crawler/crawler.py
        -fix previously defunct code (which was committed at a point of
        incompletion) -- incorrect dictionary keys, etc..
        -reformat some function calls' argument alignment to fit PEP standards.

    bitshift/crawler.py
        -add sleep() to ensure that an API query is made at regular intervals
        (determined by the GitHub API limit).

Add:
    bitshift/crawler/(crawler, git_indexer).py
        -move Codelet creation from the crawler to the git_indexer, in
        preparation for making crawling/indexing independent, threaded
        processes.

Mod:
    bitshift/codelet.py
        -modify documentation for the author instance variable.

Add:
    bitshift/crawler/crawler.py
        -add base crawler module
        -add github(), to index Github.
Mod:
    bitshift/crawler/
        -add package subdirectory for the crawler module, and any subsidiary
        modules (eg, git_indexer).

    bitshift/author_files.py > bitshift/crawler/git_indexer.py
        -rename the module to "git_indexer", to better reflect its use.
        -convert from stand-alone script to a module whose functions integrate
        cleanly with the rest of the application.
        -add all necessary, tested functions, with Sphinx documentation.

Add:
    author_files.py
        -add prototype script to output metadata about every file in a Git
        repository: filename, author names, dates of creation and modification.
        -lacking Sphinx documentation.
