Re: [PATCH 2/2] Add Author and Documentation sections to git-for-each-ref.txt

Ah, gmail has cut out the CC list. Below is my reply to a previous
message by Will Palmer.

I think, it would be nice to have a tool, which output all the
different stats about the repo, maybe even in a gui. But it definitely
doesn't belong in the Git project.

on the for-each-ref.c and saw that Junio had the first place by a
relatively large margin.

Wrap that up in a script and submit /that/ as a patch ;)

This script alone is not very useful. I was thinking about writing a
collection of scripts to gather different stats from the repository
history. However, it would be a different project altogether, not a
part of Git. The Future Git should be portable and shiny ;)
