Hi,
I agree commits per developer is a bad metric, but it is useful in
extreme cases. If you use it over the long span, Its gives you an indication
to over all performance.
Think a case, where the average commit of a developer is very less than
others members, say for example 3 times in a month or two months, where as
the others have around 20 . This is an indication that work is not
proportionally distributed as per role or some thing wrong happenings.
This metric will be used to identify where you want to ask questions. This
metric is proven to be useful in offshore
development.
Regards,
Prakash
