Package: gitstats Version: 2015.10.03-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I have used gitstats with success on several repositories. However, on the Chicken Scheme repository, it stalls. The repository is here: http://code.call-cc.org/git/chicken-core.git I have tried $ mkdir stats $ gitstats -c commit_begin='HEAD~10' . stats and gitstats begins to woek, but gets stuck here: [0.08960] >> git shortlog -s "4.9.0rc1" "^4.8.3" [0.10679] >> git shortlog -s "4.8.0.6" "^4.9.0rc1" [0.10893] >> git shortlog -s "4.9.0" "^4.8.0.6" [0.05235] >> git shortlog -s "4.9.0.1" "^4.9.0" [0.07326] >> git shortlog -s "4.10.0rc1" "^4.9.0.1" [0.04814] >> git shortlog -s "4.10.0rc2" "^4.10.0rc1" [0.04684] >> git shortlog -s "4.10.0rc3" "^4.10.0rc2" [0.06465] >> git shortlog -s "4.10.0rc4" "^4.10.0rc3" [0.10037] >> git shortlog -s "4.10.0" "^4.10.0rc4" [0.06465] >> git shortlog -s "4.10.1" "^4.10.0" [0.16433] >> git shortlog -s "4.11.0rc1" "^4.10.1" >> git rev-list --pretty=format:"%at %ai %aN <%aE>" HEAD | grep -v ^commit It does not finish processing, even after 6 hours. To help keep this reproducible, I have updated the repository until commit 87c1bab9c5ecc28af323b76f2bc5ef10fb17ab76 which was made on Fri Apr 15 22:44:48 2016 -0500. I have used gitstats on much larger repositories (like Openwrt's), with success. (Chicken's checked out repo takes 655Mb, while Openwrt's takes 5.4Gb on my machine -- I know this is not a precise measure of the volume of data that gitstats would have to deal with, but I think it is enough evidence that what's going on is not just slowness due to input size) Thank you!
