That was my biggest concern. After all, in most cases the most important
thing we have to offer contributors in the open source world is
recognition. The 3rd Generation Distributed Revision Control Systems are
a massive step forward in this regard in that contributors can originate
their own commits. My comments are thus towards encouraging you to bias
towards presenting, rather than suppressing, this information.

The specific instance I had in mind was
https://code.launchpad.net/~afcowie/java-gnome/codegen
... it makes it look like I'm the one doing all the work, and that
couldn't be farther than the truth.

Connected to the point I was making above, the fact that --line and
--short suppress the revisions contributed by people mean that they
aren't much use for figuring out whether or not something has someone's
patch in it.
