I can add the "^linus", but I think that with my workflow it will never make a difference. Any commits that got into your tree with a committer line by me will already be in my "oldhead" (how else did you get them?). So "^oldhead ^linus" should always be identical to "^oldhead".

Great ... I suspected that everything I needed was already there (after all, all GIT problems are solvable with the right arguments to git-rev-list!)

Show 6 quoted lines

But "git-shortlog" doesn't like the output from this, so I need a script (or another tip on arguments to git commands).

Oh happy day when I have sub-lieutenants :-)
