That actually turns out to be a somewhat sore point for me: I use something like git shortlog -n --since 2013/12/01 --until 2014/01/01 master for generating statistics on LilyPond when I am doing my monthly report begging the community for money. It turns out that the numbers of commits attributed to me tend to go _down_ quite regularly in the time from starting the report to sending it out. Which might also cause me to overlook a particularly selfpraiseworthy item. Not sure how feasible it would be to arrive at a stable and complementary set of --since/--until. -- David Kastrup -- 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
