The commit graph should at lest have a disclaimer of some kind. Plus I think the lines of code added/removed are a better indicator than number of commits. Perhaps with some heuristic to detect whether a lot of lines were being changed similarly, such as if code was changed by a wizard or from a find and replace.

A colleague once showed me a tool to produce back dated commits in bogus git repos so you can draw pictures on your commit graph. You should know that people are gaming the gamification.

Why? Why does it matter to you how other people populate their graph? I paint pixel art on it.
lol. That's cool but its not the intended purpose. Then again it doesn't fulfil its intended purpose anyhow.
