Sorry, you obviously interpreted my message in a way I did not intend to bring it over. I did not
intend to attack you or something. I merely wanted to point out that there are additional aspects
which makes number of commits a rather fuzzy metric.
If this metric were be used then people which commit more regularly would be favoured and with
committing regularly I do not mean implement many features, fixing bugs etc. but just that they use
the git command "commit" more often than others.
