Fails on repos whose org name has a hyphen or whose first commit author is not a GitHub user
From 3 comments
Seems to be rejecting this perfectly valid repo url: https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable It appears to be the hyphen in the org name.
pedrocr on HNThe first commit of darktable-org/darktable was created by @ on Tue Apr 07 2009 Seems like you don't handle commits by users not recognized by github.

Returns wrong first commit for some repos (no master branch, MacPorts export)
From 2 comments
This is fundamentally broken if there is no master branch, or if the master branch is not the branch that points to the last commit you made. i.e. https://github.com/antirez/redis

From 1 comment
Am I missing something? Why is this tool interesting? Or, why is this tool useful? Wasn't this already pretty easy to find if one was so inclined?

? Just do something like: ``` git rev-list --max-parents=0 HEAD ```
JasperBall on HNIf you'd like to do this in the terminal, clone the repo and: ``` git rev-list --max-parents=0 HEAD | xargs git show ```

Pretty cool. I also found this while ago: http://firstpr.me/ – shows your first pull request and contribution to the open source community.
