Why

In comparison to shortlog runstats gives immediate feedback and counts changes instead of commits. Press Ctrl-C once you have enough information. Shortlog can also be very wrong:

$> cd linux
$> git shortlog -s -n net/802/ | head -n 10
    11  Stephen Hemminger
    10  Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
     9  Eric Dumazet
     6  Eric W. Biederman
     5  Alexey Dobriyan
     5  David S. Miller
     4  Paul Gortmaker
     4  David Ward
     3  Linus Torvalds
     3  Adrian Bunk

versus

$> cd linux
$> git runstats net/802/ | head -n 10
      1556  Linus Torvalds
       931  David Ward
       749  Patrick McHardy
       104  Stephen Hemminger
