I've never been seriously threatened with being measured by these metrics, but I have said that if I ever am, my next work task will be some code that takes a single commit and turns it into one commit per line of code changed. If anyone complains, I will take the extra time to turn it into one commit per character of code changed. You want commits? I can give you commits. It's not what I'd really like to do, but by golly, I can do it. Commits by the thousands, by the millions (whoops, did I just import a library and run my code over it? sorry), anything you like.
