So this is the working version I came up with: git log --reverse --first-parent -m --format=%ct --numstat | perl -lne ' if (/^\d+$/) { if (defined $time) { print "$time $total" } $time = $&; } elsif (/^(\d+)\s+(\d+)\s/) { $total += $1 - $2; } END { # flush last entry print "$time $total"; } ' For my git.git repo, the final line it produces is: 1457666843 789457 which should be the final sloc-count right now. If I count the lines in the lines in HEAD, it's close but not quite the same: $ git ls-tree -r HEAD | awk '{print $3}' | xargs -n1 git cat-file blob | wc -l 790437 I'd guess that the difference comes from a few files which are treated as binary (and thus get "-" in their numstat output, but happen to have newlines which cause "wc" to increment its count). -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
