I do something similar with bash when I start a new project. Code's here: https://github.com/gilesbowkett/rewind https://github.com/gilesbowkett/rewind It's just useful to profile the team in terms of who writes the most code, or to profile the project in terms of when it's seen the most activity. The first time I did this, it was a rescue project, and the people who we were rescuing didn't even bother to properly introduce us to the rest of the team (the real thing they needed rescuing from was team dysfunction), so I'd have been at a real disadvantage if I hadn't done the analysis.
