Original Pull Request: https://github.com/git-ai-project/git-ai/pull/365

State: open
Merged: No

Fixes orphaned git notes issue where git-ai stats would fail or return 0 AI lines when some commits referenced in git notes don't exist locally.

This happens in:

Shallow clones (--depth=N)
Partial clones missing commits from other branches
Repos after force-push/rebase where old commits are gone

The fix:

Use git cat-file -e to verify each commit exists before sorting
Filter out non-existent commits from the list
Only pass existing commits to git log --no-walk
Handle edge cases (no commits exist, only one exists)
