An FYI for all committers: create an account on GitHub (if you don't already have one) and add your @apache.org email address to it, and within a few hours you'll show up in the contributor graphs. I tried this and am now showing up there:
https://github.com/apache/ofbiz/graphs/contributors If nothing else it's entertaining, I had no idea that I had this volume of commits since OFBiz joined the ASF (750k lines added, 135k lines removed; note that changes to lines show up in both counts). On a side note, my commit count is relatively low... ie most commits with a larger number of changes. I remember working more than way before using git... perhaps with its explicit approach to saying which files to include it encourages that more (unless you use git commit -a), or perhaps for other reasons my habits have changed. I don't get nearly as fancy as what Adam described recently with his rebase approach, but to his point I find my commits being much cleaner and better organized. -David > On 22 Apr 2015, at 10:31, Ean Schuessler <e...@brainfood.com> wrote: > > That raises another irritating thing about the JIRA SVN workflow vs GIT > pull requests. > > If you look at the contributor graph on GitHub for OFBiz you will see > that it currently has only 3 contributors.
