Re: [PATCH] --count feature for git shortlog

Junio,

I appreciate your help. Okay, That all makes sense.

I would note that something like:
 git shortlog -s "$FILENAME:  | cut -f 1 | paste -sd+ - | bc

seems like it run much faster then:

 git log --oneline "$FILENAME" | wc -l

Which was why I was looking at shortlog. I was using it to sort files by commit count when provided a list of files, which git rev-list doesn't really work for.

Anyway I can try and put it in log proper, if you think that's the best place.

Thank you, Lawrence Siebert
