relevant, for mercurial:

hg has an extension for that http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/ChurnExtension

results are easy to parse to generate some other view

  zalew:~/webprojects/x$ hg churn -f '%u-%a' -s

This sounds interesting, but what kinds of commit statistics can I expect to see if I sign up?

Also, is there any way to get statistics on existing commits in a repo I have? It would be awesome if I could do something like:

  cd ~/code/myproject
  curl https://hulkort.herokuapp.com/load.sh | sh

and get back a URL with all my stats for that repo fully loaded.

Currently there are only time based statistics like commits per day!

I really like your idea. There would be no need for an account on the user side so they could try it out right away!

After one of my articles (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2965626) got on HN, I built this little website with a friend. It's very simple and only tracks the commit count with the help of Git hooks.

Looking forward to any comments!

When you say it only tracks the commit count, is it just a simple counter (e.g. "256 total commits across all branches") or does it break it down at all (by repo, branch, day, week, month, etc)?

The first section of the website could be more clear in this regard...

No repo/branch data is tracked. But the time when the commit happened is saved. So it's possible to break it down to year/week/day/hour. You can set your timezone in the settings to get correct times.

Currently a commits per day graph is available.

And I agree with your suggestion for the homepage, it should be clearer and have graphics or example graphs. Thanks!

For the love of god, let us see an example.

I added an example graph. Thanks for pointing out!
