Easier to be gamed depending on the company and method of measuring; let llama dream up code that looks fine, add some code so the code has no actual effect, commit, remove at some time later. Any measuring of this kind is pretty much useless you have solid code review practices in general place (which, unlike people here like to believe, is a rarity). But with good reviews, underperformance and gaming the system would also be caught so you would have less reason to implement metrics like this.
