Well-packed .git is about 800MB. You want to find out how many lines of code a particular group of individuals has contributed to HEAD. The naive solution is to run git blame on all 40K files grep'ing for the just the authors you want. Possibly a step up from that is first using log --name-status --author=... to find just the files which have been touched by those authors and then blaming only those files. I guess the next step up would be parsing the diff hunks output by log -p, but then you're basically re-implementing blame I think. Am I missing a clever solution? j.
