KLOC in Samba? interoperability issues]

The bit I find really intriguing is Lukes latest claims on
advogato. Lets look at the claims:

     .. additionally, you should be aware that the work on which they have "earned
     their position" - is about 25% to 30% Copyright ME, with failures to
     acknowledge or credit that very commonplace. most of the really _useful_
     architectural decisions they make are MINE 

wow! I had no idea Luke was so prolific!

As a reality check I thought I'd ask the cvs tree who had written
what. Obviously it was all written by Luke, but why not just
check. You never know what you might find!

In the current samba.org HEAD branch we have:

    tridge    81208  29%
       jra    78793  28%
       jfm    19859  7%
      tpot    19071  6%
      lkcl    15336  5%
  abartlet    11112  4%
     jerry     9469  3%

oh oh, somethings wrong. Where did the rest of Lukes code go? 

Oh, I know. It was in the SAMBA_TNG branch that he spent 6 years on
between 1998 and 2000 (a miracle of modern science in itself). Lets
check the stats for SAMBA_TNG, after all, he was virtually the sole
committer on that branch for a long long time.

In the SAMBA_TNG branch of samba.org we have:

       jra   135233  42%
    tridge    77289  24%
      lkcl    40356  12%
      tpot    12939  4%
       jfm    12134  3%
  samba-bu     9231  2%
     jerry     8638  2%
       crh     7445  2%
      idra     3438  1%
  abartlet     2285  0%
     matty     1845  0%
      herb     1538  0%
    kalele     1373  0%
    sharpe      981  0%
       mbp      834  0%
       dmo      767  0%
   vlendec      548  0%
      jmcd      230  0%
   jdblair      157  0%
       mhw      135  0%
     monyo      130  0%
     oliva       75  0%
     anton       46  0%
       jht       29  0%
   ictinus       12  0%
   sfrench        6  0%

oh well, maybe that could have something to do with the fact that
jeremy had to fix just about every line of code he committed to make
it actually compile and work? Naah, that couldn't be it. Luke is
infallible.

For completeness here is the 2.2 branch:

       jra    86295  32%
    tridge    81036  30%
      tpot    18508  6%

     jerry     8161  3%

Well, I can only assume that aliens or the CIA broke into our CVS
server and changed the logs. Yeah, that must be it.

Cheers, Tridge
