The [wiki] output might be quite

I will add a new format option

Got it.

Will do

A proposal that seems much better than my first thought:
I will tinker with lo-commit-stat but will try to avoid major refactor:
After poking at lo-commit-stat a little bit last night, I think the best
plan is to write a lo-commit-wikify wrapper that converts year&week to
git-args --after/since and --before/until and then calls lo-commit-stat .
The wrapper would also help us catch up with an -all [weeks] arg or some
such and drive lo-commit-stat through the branch tags separately. This step
through the branch/tags idea was so the log output doesn't have to be
rewritten or parsed.  But after re-reading the note above about --log-suffix
I see it may be easier that I thought...

The main additions in lo-commit-stat would be output changes: wiki formatted
lines (====headers for sub-repos), wrapping the bug numbers to wiki external
links and (maybe) log append
lo-commit-wikify would create the other parts of the wiki page before and
after the commit list from lo-commit-stat.

I will attempt some other improvements as well re: bug numbers and ordering
commits by time (so msgs like: fixed prev commit [/somebody] are clearer)
I will also look at  rolling-up some stats like: # commits and #changes

I will not do the extraction of common to all because there is also the case
of common to a few and -
you have reminded me that a) it isn't trivial and b) it will all be moot if
sub-repos are merged.

I do see that checking all branches for the presence of a patch or patch set
is valuable, but code config study/debug is different than this statistic
generator

CPAN provides access to handy week functions in DateTime so converting
week/year to start/end dates looks straightforward

I will try to avoid this if possible - at least on the first pass.
Perhaps in future after gaining experience

OK here goes...

I know I need to pull to get the latest commits.  After
$> ga pull -r
in a repo on <some branch>, do I have the commit info for *all*
branches/tags?

Thanks.
I will put your name on it.
