The Biggest and Weirdest Commits in Linux Kernel Git History

I think Gary's commit counts are off:

  $ git log | wc -l

This should count the number of lines in the entire git log, including metadata (not just commits). I think he means this:

  $ git log --oneline | wc -l

The number of commits for Rails should be closer to 61,000.

That would explain why the commit frequency seemed to improbably high. I just updated it with correct numbers. Thanks.

You can also use:

    git rev-list --count HEAD

The number is right, the command is just misprinted:

    titan:~/src/linux geofft$ git log --oneline 566cf87 | wc -l
    649306
