Statistics are incomplete in multi-root repositories #64

I have a large repository that comes from a merge of several (four or more) old git repos. In this case only the first parent is followed by analyze.py (from the line "i, commit = i+1, commit.parents[0]"), and the other parents are skipped. Would it be straight forward to recurse down on each parent in this section?

Not sure, seems tricky since for a number of reasons GoT assumes a linear history
