Note how much the number has fluctuated over the last 4 years, the range of some flucuations is as large as the average value. We'd need to wait another year, and probably average over every 2 or 3 months, in order to see any patterns. Also, I think number of committers would be a more relevant metric, altough this number would be even smaller and less reliable. 2015-04-23 18:41 GMT+01:00 Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen : > I wondered whether switching to git had any effect, developer wise, so I > whipped up some stats: > > http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no/2015/04/23/the-effect-of-version-control-syst= ems-on-emacs-developers/ > > The Emacs Lisp functions I wrote to make the stats are on github (linked > from the article), so feel free to fix the data if my methodology is > unsound. :-) > > -- > (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) > bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no > > >
