Are we counting number of commits, or lines of code? If the latter, the calculation of the coefficient ought to take into account that larger commits almost certainly have more revisions (I'm assuming -- I haven't checked).
This was purely the number of times any change was updated with a new revision prior to merging. Yes absolutely there are a ton of hidden variables there and I agree that larger changes are more prone to see more revisions due to there being more to get wrong in them and the increased chance that they'll end up in conflict with other changes which merge ahead of them. However, I don't think there's anything significantly different about that particular detail when you're comparing a Gerrit change review workflow to a GitHub additive commit review workflow, which was the main point of this analysis. -- Jeremy Stanley
