So is being a git whore a good thing or a bad thing?

In my opinion, it's irrelevant, or it's not relevant without more information to extrapolate.

Scenario a)

A team is building trivial and already known features.

The real metric could be the number of features per developer, but still you could say "the more lines of code, did work faster than the less one"

Scenario b)

A developer is doing research all the day in a test environment, and just commit a single line of code to production git.

It increases the performance by x10.

Do you fire that person?

Source code commits are usefulness as a metric.

Features, tasks, number and impact of bugs, are better metrics, but for a developer team to work well, the main thing is good communication.

apparently it is a bad thing if you read the description.

"do not bring it up in front of your team or they might end up committing meaningless stuff just to avoid being whore ;)"

I think this project is a stupid idea, if nothing else it will incur the wrath of the SJW and his reputation might be forever marred whatever the intent behind the project might be.

Why are you all criticizing? I explained in my project that its just for fun "Project was made just for fun and the number of commits is never the window to who is doing more and who is doing less." Not to show who is doing less work or more.
