[U-Boot] Using 'gitdm' to generate U-Boot release statistics

[Wolfgang Denk]

Hi all,

people have repeatedly asked me how I generate the U-Boot release
statistics, or if they can use the tools to generate similar data for
other projects, etc.

To avoid such requests in the future and to make the information
easier available and the whole process more transparent, I decided to
move my so far local git repository to our public git server, see [1].

The configuration used for the U-Boot statistics is in the "u-boot"
branch.

Please note that I re-sync from time to time against Jonathan Corbet's
original gitdm repository, and then I usually rebase "u-boot" against
the new master (keeping a copy of the old branch, for example as in
the "u-boot-2016-11-22" branch).

To generate the release statistics for U-Boot I use a command like
this:

	-> cd ~/git/gitdm
	-> ( cd /home/git/u-boot ; git log -p -M v2016.11..v2017.01 ) | \
	./gitdm -u -s -a -o /tmp/results -h /tmp/results.html

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
