Lovely tool. Thanks for the release! I had some fun with it before calling it a day.

Here is my personal wishlist after a short test-drive.

- Blame-based stats. While it is nice to see an overview of the historical contributions of Bob and Alice, this is not something that I would use on a daily basis. What would be more useful, is to present the same tables based on the blame lines of a tree-ish. This would show the de-facto "owner(s)" of modules/files, something which comes handy when asking for help with something or even assigning reviews. One could also run this iteratively over the history and get some nice timeline graph.

- Support for pattern-based inclusions/exclusions. E.g. I am not interested to see stats on the json files used by tests. Or any kind of auto-generated files (e.g. django migrations).

- Support for a configuration file, to store your preferred settings in your git repo. Something TOML-based perhaps.

- Better packaging (nit). E.g. the linux tarball for v0.6 contains some apple-related "junk" and gnu tar complains about archive format incompatibilities.



I'm very happy to hear you had fun with it. Thank you for the comprehensive feedback and for trying it out!

Not sure what's happening with the tarball. Will take a look at that.
