Hi Greg,

Let me see if I understood you.

I looked into commits created during 2013 that satisfy the following
condition:

* We observed them in Linus repo _before_ Linux-next (that does not
necessarily mean they didn't appear in linus before linux next)
* Are not merge commits
* Were committed in 2013 (no point of showing you 2012, i guess).

they are listed here (it takes a couple of minutes to create the list... so
it is not a realtime list, but I that can be fixed
if it is useful):

http://o.cs.uvic.ca:20810/perl/next.pl

is this what you had in mind? obviously Linus commits appear in his repo
before Next, so I could drop him from the report.

I have also added the commit that merges each commit, which is probably
useful too. If it is empty either we haven't update the data or it
was done straight into linus repo (as in 3e2e0d2c222bdf5bafd722dec1618fa6073ef372).
