Hi guys, I wrote some documentation clarifying why a git shortlog -s
gives some 'weird' results in the autotest source tree:

https://github.com/autotest/autotest/wiki/DevelopmentCommunitySize

Bottom line, it is possible to do some git-filter-branch vodoo and
get things straightened out, but that implies to rewrite the entire
autotest history, breaking out development branches for people
following autotest. Now, we believe the later is a pretty large
inconvenience for people involved in the project.

So, if at any point in time, you believe that there are compelling
reasons to rewrite the history of the project to 'right this wrong',
that out weight the inconveniences for people already working on
autotest, please bring this subject up and let's have a conversation
about it. We promise being responsible with the commits and not let the
authorship to be lost from now on.

 Cheers,

Lucas
