May I suggest that you try this with the kernel repo too.. Have you? I've compared gitk HEAD~40..HEAD and git-log-fpc --no-merges HEAD~40..HEAD Admittedly, the first group ("from the tip of the master") tends to be seriously mixed up without a fixed theme (well the theme appears to be "fix trivial warnings and compilation breakages not limited to any particular subsystem"), but I find the other groups quite a sane representation of what actually happened. My copy of your tree is a bit old (HEAD is at 1abbfb412), but I see: - a two-commit series on MIPS via Ralf Baechle, - a four-commit series on ARM via Russel King, - a three-commit series on POWERPC via Paul Mackerras, - a seventeen-commit series in net/ area via Dave Miller, - a three-commit series on x86_64 via Andi Kleen. ... As you said, committer would be a good addition to break a fast-forward case to make it even better.
