I happen to try it before I read this thread, and I came here to report
a bug. It spewed about 2000 lines to the screen with no paging, and
ended like this:

That's not the pleasant, intelligent UI from darcs that I've come to expect.
I think this format should be the default:
darcs show authors | sort | uniq -c | sort -n -r | less
I don't really see any drawbacks
- Sorting the data adds predictability.
- Reporting the count of unique entries is not lossy. You can reconstruct a
boring
format like the one above with the counts, if you wanted to.
- paging shows the most interesting values first
To contrast what darcs presented me with above, the result of sorting
and showing the unique counts is much more interesting:
1451 David Roundy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
828 David Roundy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
507 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
304 Ian Lynagh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
285 Mark Stosberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
267 Tommy Pettersson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
217 Juliusz Chroboczek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
168 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
142 Eric Kow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
101 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Also, the result is easily parsed between the numbers and the authors if you
care to.
