I think this applies to actual software management too. I don't see people with the most code commits as the ones who gets promoted. The ones promoted are usually the ones who really scope out the problem. Once they're sure of a complete solution they code out their plans on a steady pace.

I think Einstein's the one that said: "If I had an hour to solve a problem I'd spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and 5 minutes thinking about solutions."

Yes guys that do have a lot of commits (and those who don't think through the problem long enough) end up with commits like:

"Fix" "Real fix" "Fix the fix because of fix"

Then you know you don't want those on your team. It really bites on tight deadlines when you have to put something to production but poor dude needs to push that really, really last fix.
