I wrote https://github.com/hbt/git-forks-analysis to analyze a git repo and its forks. I modified existing tools to scan all branches. The most interesting tool is https://github.com/src-d/gitbase which turns your git repo into a database you can query. This is more effective than parsing git log output. I keep a list of similar tools here https://github.com/hbt/git-forks-analysis#other-git-data-min... Happy to add yours

Thank you for sharing this. I was interested to know if this was a fork of gitql by cloudson. It is not. The following issue clarifies the relationship: https://github.com/gitql/gitql/issues/83 "The relation is its purpose: SQL + Git, written in Go. There is no relation other than that." I thought this might help anyone else who was similarly interested.
