My stats: As usual, the executive friendly graph is at http://neuling.org/linux-next-size.html :-) (No merge commits counted, next-20170220 was the first linux-next after the merge window opened.) Commits in v4.11-rc1 (relative to v4.10): 10960 Commits in next-20170220: 9791 Commits with the same SHA1: 9016 Commits with the same patch_id: 479 (1) Commits with the same subject line: 68 (1) (1) not counting those in the lines above. So commits in -rc1 that were in next-20170220: 9563 87% [ v4.10-rc1 like this: Commits in v4.10-rc1 (relative to v4.9): 11455 Commits in next-20161212: 10625 Commits with the same SHA1: 9927 Commits with the same patch_id: 437 (1) Commits with the same subject line: 25 (1) (1) not counting those in the lines above. So commits in -rc1 that were in next-20161212: 10389 90% And v4.9-rc1 like this: Commits in v4.9-rc1 (relative to v4.8): 14308 Commits in next-20161004: 13539 Commits with the same SHA1: 12716 Commits with the same patch_id: 485 (1) Commits with the same subject line: 33 (1) (1) not counting those in the lines above. So commits in -rc1 that were in next-20161004: 13234 92% So this time we have slightly more rebasing and overall more "extra" commits. ] Some breakdown of the list of extra commits (relative to next-20170220) in -rc1: Top ten first word of commit summary: 142 sched 117 drm 72 net 66 ib 63 watchdog 61 btrfs 60 scsi 48 f2fs 43 tools 29 perf Top ten authors: 146 [email protected] 46 [email protected] 45 [email protected] 39 [email protected] 32 [email protected] 32 [email protected] 28 [email protected] 26 [email protected] 22 [email protected] 21 [email protected] Top ten commiters: 217 [email protected] 161 [email protected] 88 [email protected] 79 [email protected] 64 [email protected] 63 [email protected] 59 [email protected] 58 [email protected] 57 [email protected] 52 [email protected] There are also 229 commits in next-20170220 that didn't make it into v4.11-rc1.

The steven@ubuntu-virtualbox.(none) ones are form a very out of date blackfin tree that has now been removed from linux-next. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell
