Funny behavior about commits

[John Arbash Meinel]

I was linked to this page a couple days ago:
http://gnu.wildebeest.org/diary/index.php?p=70

Basically, it shows the exponential growth of GNU Classpath.

The most interesting part of this is:
26 people actively contributed code to 0.15 and made 299 CVS commits
during the last two months of development (that is 5 commits each and
every day)

I think it shows a definite difference in how they do CVS style commits,
versus how we seem to do bzr style commits. Because of the independent
branches, I think we commit early and often. They seem very impressed
with 5 commits per day. And they certainly have a large code base (~350k
LOC)

But I noticed that just doing the perf testing for 'bzr status' I made
25 commits in the space of about 8 hours.

They were adding about 300 lines/day. Which is hopefully a lot more than
what I did. (376 +, 160-).

Just interesting to see the different workflow.
