The new Statistics

Hi Folks,

A few nitpicks with the new statistics graph

1) The buttons to change the graph type need a hint text.

2) The line-graphs should be disabled in the commits by author. They don't
give away anything.

3) This may be old, but I saw it for the first time. See attached
screenshot. The graph is showing all revisions from a repository. The time
settings on the server were wrong (early 2000), when the repository was
created and the first revisions were committed, that's why there is a long
span without commits. This seems to confuse the algorithm that calculates
the x-axis labels. It only gets them right, when there is data available.
There are also 'leaps' in the delta-x: 19+11 = 30+11 = 41+4 = 45+8 = 53+11 =
11+2 = 13. It gets the x-axis right in the bar graphs, but not in the line
graphs, but only because the first few hundred weeks are dropped in the bar
graphs.

4) Since this 'crowded' graph doesn't look so good, I suggest to
automatically group the data by the next bigger unit once there are more
than say twenty units on the x-axis.

The statistics in the attached screenshot cover roughly 300 weeks, which
would boil down to 72 months, 18 quarters or six years. I think that 18
quarters would just look perfect. See attached StatsSuggestion. It's a mock
up, so the x-scaling is not correct and I didn't redo the sums for the line
graph, but you'll get the idea.

I'd relabel the choices in the pull-down box to "commits by author" and
"commits by time". The scaling unit should be determined automatically in
the graph itself.

Maybe our graph wizard feels challenged to implement this :-)

Cheers
