ok, some info about this one. It seems Ohloh is counting commits in the master branch. If you just use the git log to get the main stats: $ git log --format=format:%ae > Authors $ grep brion Authors | wc -l 4493 $ grep tstarling Authors | wc -l 2554 which is pretty much what you see in Ohloh. In our case, we're counting *all* the activity in the repository (all branches): $ git log --all --format=format:%ae > Authors $ grep brion Authors | wc -l 5425 $ grep tstarling Authors | wc -l 3068 Which is pretty much our data. To be honest, I'm not sure which one (counting only master branch, or all branches) is better: probably we should be providing both, or even a separate count for each branch, so that users may decide which data better suits their needs. I take notice about this. Again, thanks for pointing it out.
