Hi trustin, It should be easy to fix this. It will probably be a day or two before our next website rollout, but I'll try to remember to post here again when the fix is ready. Thanks, Robin

Hi Alexander, I've rescheduled the update. I'll keep an eye on it to make sure it completes. Thanks, Robin

We get a lot of requests to exclude directories. This isn't something Ohloh can do yet, but it is high on the list for possible new features. Stay tuned.

Hi m_m, Yes, unfortunately, it is difficult to convince Ohloh to track the root URL for a Subversion repository. That's because Ohloh tries very hard to avoid importing the branches and tags ... [More] directories. Because these directories can contain many duplicate copies of the code, including them can result in severe over-counting of the source code, by many orders of magnitude. If your project does not contain any branches or tags, and you promise that your project will never have them, I can enlist the root directory manually. Otherwise, we have to accept the limitation that Ohloh must avoid using URLs that include branches and tags. [Less]

Hi Michael, Unfortunately, Subversion does not track the original author when commits are merged from a branch into the trunk. As a result, your work will be credited to the person running the merge. ... [More] It is not absolutely required to add only the trunk to Ohloh. If your situation warrants, you can also add other branches to Ohloh. However, Ohloh will not be able to eliminate duplicate commits. If the Subversion log for your branch and the Subversion log for the trunk both show some of the same commits, then these commits will be duplicated on Ohloh. Let me know if you have any other questions, Robin [Less]

Hi RQuading, Kudos is an arbitrary developer ranking from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest). When you give kudos to another developer on Ohloh, this boosts the ranking for that developer. When you add a ... [More] project to your stack, this adds a small boost to the ranking for all of the contributors to that project. Your ranking of 9 does not come from direct kudos -- it comes almost entirely from your work on PHP, which thousands of developers have added to their stacks. Read more about KudoRank [Less]

Hi seb, Unfortunately, Ohloh does not support this for Git. We use the entire repository. There have been a lot of requests to add a feature to allow directories to be ignored, but we simply haven't had time to implement this yet. Thanks, Robin

Hi braden, To fix this problem, you must visit your Ohloh profile page. From here, click the small EDIT link next to the project name. This will take you to a form where you can edit your ... [More] contribution to the project. Change your Committer Name to match the name you use in the new repository. There is an auto-completer to help you pick the correct name. Let me know if you have any trouble and I'll help out. Thanks, Robin [Less]

@Jürgen, Thanks for the tip -- I have updated the FAQ to include Mercurial and Bazaar. @Peter, Yes, the Google Code crawler does not yet add Mercurial repositories automatically. This is something ... [More] we may consider adding as Mercurial becomes more popular. [Less]

Hi Pavol, I've fixed the problem for your account, but it looks like a lot of other project contributors have the same problem, so here's some instructions on how to fix it. The problem of course is ... [More] that the Ohloh accounts are still tied to old Subversion names instead of the new Git names. This is can be fixed from your Ohloh account profile page. In the list of projects, click the tiny EDIT link next to this project. This will take you to a form where you can change the Committer Name you used. There is an auto-completer here to help you pick the correct name. Sorry for the troubles; this is a part of the Ohloh UI that really needs to be fixed. :-( [Less]
