You can do this today with the ‘binary’ [aggregation method](http://forum.beeminder.com/t/documentation-of-aggregation-methods-would-be-nice/549/4), applied to your gitminder goal.

That’s on the advanced settings tab; first convert the goal to ‘custom’ and then change the aggregation. Custom goals are a premium feature, at least partly because you’re less protected from tying your goal in knots with incompatible settings.
