templates: don't apply formatting inside ugettext (_) calls

The call to ugettext (_) is there to obtain a translated string. It may
contain format specifiers like '%s'. If the code is as follows:

_('User-facing string with %s data' % data)

then the string will never be translated in the application, because the
variable 'data' is replaced in the string _before_ being passed to the
translation function '_' (ugettext).

The correct code is:

_('User-facing string with %s data') % data

so that we first get the translated string and _then_ substitute the
variable 'data'.

Note: the string extraction logic (used to extract all user-facing strings
to pass to translators) happily accepted the bad code, ignoring the string
substitution. It would have been better if it had warned loudly about this
problem.

.. _statistics:

=====================
Repository statistics
=====================

Kallithea has a *repository statistics* feature, disabled by default. When
enabled, the amount of commits per committer is visualized in a timeline. This
feature can be enabled using the ``Enable statistics`` checkbox on the
repository ``Settings`` page.

The statistics system makes heavy demands on the server resources, so
in order to keep a balance between usability and performance, statistics are
cached inside the database and gathered incrementally.

When Celery is disabled:

  On each first visit to the summary page a set of 250 commits are parsed and
  added to the statistics cache. This incremental gathering also happens on each
  visit to the statistics page, until all commits are fetched.

  Statistics are kept cached until additional commits are added to the
  repository. In such a case Kallithea will only fetch the new commits when
  updating its statistics cache.

When Celery is enabled:

  On the first visit to the summary page, Kallithea will create tasks that will
  execute on Celery workers. These tasks will gather all of the statistics until
  all commits are parsed. Each task parses 250 commits, then launches a new
  task.
