After sending out a response, I re-read your message because I did not quite get where bayesian would come into the picture.
I think I should have used the word "topic branch" instead of "topic". In other words, I was not interested in sifting the various totally unrelated linear commits into groups that deal with distinct problems.
But again you are showing your superiour intelligence by setting the problem in a much grander scheme ;-), where there is no such developer discipline that would help the shortlogger (like use of topic branches). In such a case, you would need a set of heuristics that you described.
