Hi all, As usual, the executive friendly graph is at http://neuling.org/linux-next-size.html :-) (No merge commits counted, next-20181224 was the last linux-next before the merge window opened.) Commits in v5.0-rc1 (relative to v4.20): 10843 Commits in next-20181224: 10867 Commits with the same SHA1: 10044 Commits with the same patch_id: 301 (1) Commits with the same subject line: 52 (1) (1) not counting those in the lines above. So commits in -rc1 that were in next-20181224: 10397 95% Some breakdown of the list of extra commits (relative to next-20181224) in -rc1: Top ten first word of commit summary: 49 drm 26 cifs 24 perf 19 net 16 um 16 thermal 16 dt-bindings 16 csky 11 arm64 9 pci Top ten authors: 20 yamada.masahiro@socionext.com 15 ren_guo@c-sky.com 12 torvalds@linux-foundation.org 12 palcantara@suse.de 11 anton.ivanov@cambridgegreys.com 11 acme@redhat.com 10 vvs@virtuozzo.com 10 hch@lst.de 9 julia.lawall@lip6.fr 9 daniel@iogearbox.net Top ten commiters: 51 davem@davemloft.net 46 alexander.deucher@amd.com 29 acme@redhat.com 28 stfrench@microsoft.com 23 torvalds@linux-foundation.org 22 edubezval@gmail.com 19 yamada.masahiro@socionext.com 19 ren_guo@c-sky.com 17 richard@nod.at 14 axboe@kernel.dk There are also 470 commits in next-20181224 that didn't make it into v5.0-rc1.
