I have definitely thought about it, but I think that will require a completely 
different approach.

For set.mm I use the dates within the current set.mm file. As you noted, for 
iset.mm that won't work, since those dates are often a copy-paste from set.mm 
(many predate iset.mm).

That is possible. I think it might be more accurate to credit both the 
contributed by person AND the git committer if they are different. The gource 
input format has, in each line, a timestamp, user, and "pathname" being 
changed. Multiple lines can have the same timestamp and "pathname".

However, that is such a different approach that I think new code would have to 
be written to compute it. It isn't just a tweak that can be added to the 
current code.

My thoughts exactly.
