I would like to get someones opinion on this. We have a push webhook that posts messages to Slack. Everytime we were pushing new feature-branches, we would always get a sky-high commit count. Like we were pushing 420 commits, but it was a brand new branch.

I think the push webhook property total_commits_count is getting a wrong count, because of a wrong rev-list logic.

Let's say there are 420 commits between master and dev, so when I branch off of dev and push that branch, the total_commits_count is 420 but it really should be 0 - right?

I think the webhook is always checking diff count from master branch (judging frome screenshot below), when it should be checking diff count from parent branch.

$ git rev-list master...feature/SWSA-567 --count
420

$ git rev-list dev...feature/SWSA-567 --count
0
