Not all commits and authors are showing up

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Tried to use this for FStar contributors, there are 11 of them: 
https://github.com/FStarLang/FStar/graphs/contributors
2. Running gitinspector only displays 4 contributors, and the number of 
commits, insertions, deletions is much lower than reality.

• Merged into: #60

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I eventually understood that by default gitinspector only considers a hand full 
of file extensions for it's counting, and most our files weren't on that list. 
Moreover, I found no way to make it consider all files, so I had to manually 
create a huge white-list with all extensions. Not the best starting user 
experience, but eventually it got the job done.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Correct. I'm merging this with issue 60, as it is loosely related. Note though 
that the default behavior will always be to target source code files. However, 
something will eventually be added to easier specify extensions that should be 
included in the statistics.

Also note that for metrics and comments to be correctly calculated - support 
for unsupported extensions have to be added to comment.py and metrics.py. 
*.fs/*.fsi files are not currently covered. See issue 59 for more information. 
Patches are welcome.
