Google and 2.6.32

Parent article: Who wrote 2.6.32

Google takes a lot of grief for not contributing back, but that company was the source of a fair amount of code going into 2.6.32.

I don't see Google in the above statistics, were their "fair amount of code" below the cutoff, or was this a typo and Google contributed to 2.6.31 (or 2.6.33)?

OK, I indeed missed it. They contributed 40k lines, but only a few changesets.

Sorry.

I suspect the board support stuff came in big chunks without the development
history behind them, hence the low changeset count.
