Yup. Their numbers seem to be just 'any commit by the author, with mailmap applied', and I am of two minds with it. Counting without "shortlog --no-merges", depending on the management style of the project, tends to credit the integrator too much. Even though vetting the patches and choosing when to merge the topics is a significant contribution, it isn't *that* big compared to the work done by the contributor who took initiative to scratch that itch. With or without "--no-merges", the big picture you can get out of "git shortlog -s -n --since=1.year" does not change very much, but the headline numbers give a wrong impression. And of course, application of the mailmap is very important, if you want to get meaningful numbers out of shortlog over a longer period. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
