That's per-repo. The claim is that user/repo/commit is flattened to just the commit. Your counterpoint (which I agree with and is well-known) is that it's flattened to repo/commit (dropping the user).

Ah right, though I think it is rather unlikely Github flattens across multiple repos given that Github has already blogged about how their repo storage backend (Spokes) works, and it seems to operate entirely on whole repositories.
