My stats:

As usual, the executive friendly graph is at
http://neuling.org/linux-next-size.html :-)

(No merge commits counted, next-20170220 was the first linux-next after
the merge window opened.)

Commits in v4.11-rc1 (relative to v4.10): 10960
Commits in next-20170220: 9791
Commits with the same SHA1: 9016
Commits with the same patch_id: 479 (1)
Commits with the same subject line: 68 (1)

(1) not counting those in the lines above.

So commits in -rc1 that were in next-20170220: 9563 87%

[
v4.10-rc1 like this:

Commits in v4.10-rc1 (relative to v4.9): 11455
Commits in next-20161212: 10625
Commits with the same SHA1: 9927
Commits with the same patch_id: 437 (1)
Commits with the same subject line: 25 (1)

(1) not counting those in the lines above.

So commits in -rc1 that were in next-20161212: 10389 90%

And v4.9-rc1 like this:

Commits in v4.9-rc1 (relative to v4.8): 14308
Commits in next-20161004: 13539
Commits with the same SHA1: 12716
Commits with the same patch_id: 485 (1)
Commits with the same subject line: 33 (1)

(1) not counting those in the lines above.

So commits in -rc1 that were in next-20161004: 13234 92%

So this time we have slightly more rebasing and overall more "extra" commits.

Some of Andrew's patches are fixes for other patches in his tree (and
have been merged into those).

Top ten commiters:

76 sfr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
20 mchehab@xxxxxxxxxx
16 steven@ubuntu-virtualbox.(none)
11 dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx
10 olof@xxxxxxxxx
9 luisbg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
8 viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
7 tytso@xxxxxxx
7 bart.vanassche@xxxxxxxxxxx
6 mathieu.poirier@xxxxxxxxxx

Those commits by me are from the quilt series (mainly Andrew's mmotm
tree). The steven@ubuntu-virtualbox.(none) ones are form a very out of
date blackfin tree that has now been removed from linux-next.
