(OP here) Oh, I'm must have not been very clear on the purpose behind tracking commits vs. time - for accounting purposes when recording what time gets capitalized and what time gets expensed. As for misleading, when we matched up commits to time spent per project, they lined up incredibly well, as mentioned in the article. You're correct that business value is a crucial metric, but that's applied across departments and largely for strategic reasons. This is managed & handled entirely separate from how developer time is translated into accounting practices, which is what my post was about.
