Final side note: for me, and other git users that apply other peoples patches, it's probably better to use
git log --pretty=%cD --committer=Torvalds
instead.
Interestingly, that shows a different pattern than my "authorship" statistics, which are mainly pull requests. It turns out I commit patches much more in the afternoon. The reason is probably simple: in the mornings, I have pull requests waiting from overnight, so a fair number of pull requests where I am author at 9-11. But my biggest source of patches tends to be Andrew Morton, who sends the patches in the afternoon, so suddenly the commit counts skew towards being between 3pm-8pm when you take all my commits into accoint.
Doing
git log --since=6.months --pretty=%aD --grep=Signed.*Andrew.Morton
backs that up: most of the commits that have sign-offs by Andrew are sent in the afternoon.
I just find details like that really interesting, where you can actually mine for the workpatterns of people.
