One thing that everyone can check is the claim that 50% of our commit
messages are less than 10 chars long and 75% are less than 20 chars.
Using the git repo you can run something like this and get the numbers
yourself.
openbsd-git> git log --log-size --format="%B" | grep '^log size ' | cut -f
3 -d ' ' | awk '{ t++; if ($1 <= 10) s++; if ($1 <= 20) m++; else l++; }
END { print s " <= 10 char"; print m " <= 20 char"; print l " rest"; print
t " total" }'
12386 <= 10 char
25894 <= 20 char
176304 rest
202198 total
Sorry but 25k is no where close to 75% of 202198.
Seems he did count words not characters.
