Key lines: "Somebody please look at the diff. Thats a simple 3 line code addition. I agree to you @torvalds but you could have excused this time :)"
AND: "By the way, its quite funny that github is sending instructions to @torvalds on using git."
Neither of which lines does Kenneth mention.
To me, this post is like the selective editing FOX News or the Colbert Report occasionally do to take things out of context.
Not a fan.
It's hard being a project maintainer. Linus was more than explanatory. This is the kernel, after all, dealing with github gen pop can be quite tiresome, and I don't blame him at all for not wanting people to be throwing rocks at him.
I think the point is, and forgive the harshness of this, but the person to whom Linus called a moron was kind of being a moron.
Linus explained why he wouldn't accept pull requests from Github, due purely to the formatting of the commit log, and that guy starts insisting he do it because it's only a three line patch, basically ignoring everything that Linus had said.
Regardless the length of the patch, it doesn't alter the commit formatting.
I personally don't think I'd have ever resorted to calling someone a moron unless I personally knew them, but I very distinctly believed that guy to either missing the point, or trolling.
