Estimated project cost of a Mercurial repository

gistfile1.sh

# A one-liner for calculating the cost of a project using a Mercurial repo.
# Replace:
#   ignore|paths - pipe separated strings in paths to ignore
#                  eg: embedded libraries and generated code.
#   mins_per_loc - estimated minutes per line of code. 
#   hourly_rate  - hourly dollar rate being charged.

$ hg log --stat | egrep -v 'ignore|paths' | grep '|' | awk '{s+=$3} END {print "$" s / 60 * mins_per_loc * hourly_rate}'

Minutes per line of code (which seems the right metric to me) or lines of code per minute?

Yeah the comment is wrong. Thanks!
