The standard way to do that is
git log --oneline ... whatever other args ... | wc -l
or more kosher from a script
git rev-list ... whatever other args ... | wc -l
Adding an option to ignore per-author breakdown smells backwards.
The whole point of shortlog is to give you the commit stats broken
out for each author. I guess it is not so far-fetched to add an
option to "git log" to only show the number of commits that would be
output, if you really wanted to avoid "| wc -l", but this option
does not belong to shortlog.
And it certainly does not deserve a short-and-sweet single letter
option "-N", I think.
