As stated in the documentation, --grading is just a shortcut/alias for the options -HlmrTw. There isn't anything special about it. To answer your questionn --grading=true will enable the -H/--hard option which will recursively look for ownership of rows. Basically, it will look through the whole history, when looking after who is the original author of a certain row. It's also better att finding duplicate rows... This is why you are seeing differences. The documentation of gitinspector states;
Track rows and look for duplicates harder. In essence, this passes additional -C (and -M)
options to the git executable.
Hi there.
Could one of you please give me a little bit of explanation about the grading option besides what is in the documentation page?
"Show statistics and information in a way that is formatted for grading of student project; this is the same as supplying -HlmrTw."
I generated a few reports with and without this options and I notice that - in some cases - the numbers in the first two tables are quite lower when the analysis is run with this option.
For instance, here are the numbers for an analysis generated with ---grading=false
