identifying, by a processor, a first repository and a second repository; detecting common patterns in files within the first and second repositories, and the patterns detected on any arbitrary sized set of data from the first and second repositories; grouping related files into groups within the first and second repositories based on the common patterns, wherein grouping further includes compressing the common patterns replacing the common patterns with symbols and wherein compressing further includes when two or more patterns tie in terms of a frequency with which those two or more patterns appear within the groups selecting a particular pattern from the two or more patterns as appearing more frequently than the remaining one of the two or more patterns based on the selected particular pattern having more complex characters than the remaining one of the two or more patterns; and auto-completing a lookup text string in an auto-complete tool supplied by a user based on the groups as the user enters each character of the lookup text string into the auto-complete tool.
