Re: [PATCH] (experimental) per-topic shortlog.

Just for fun, I took a look at what we might see by ordering commits by
their "amount of blamedness". That is, the count of lines introduced by
a commit which were not later superseded. The script I used is below:

#!/bin/sh

start=$1; shift
end=$1; shift

start_sha1=`git-rev-parse $start^{}`
git-rev-list --parents $start..$end >revs
echo $start_sha1 >>revs
for i in `git-diff --raw -r $start $end | cut -f2`; do
  echo blaming $i... >&2
  git-blame -l -S revs $i | cut -d' ' -f1
done |
  grep -v $start_sha1 |
  sort | uniq -c | sort -rn |
  while read count hash; do
    echo "$count `git-rev-list --max-count=1 --pretty=oneline $hash`"
  done

The top 15 for v1.4.3 to v1.4.4 are:

1604 6973dcaee76ef7b7bfcabd2f26e76205aae07858 Libify diff-files.

Something is SERIOUSLY wrong.

That commit is not even between v1.4.3 and v1.4.4.
