He made git with his specific method of managing the Linux source repository in mind. Now someone wants him to ignore part of his tool for their connivence and he said no.&lt;p&gt;He&apos;s not saying &quot;we should all boycott GitHub because of it&quot;. He&apos;s not saying &quot;they&apos;re idiots for doing this&quot;.&lt;p&gt;He&apos;s saying &apos;The Linux project works one way, GitHub doesn&apos;t support that way, so we&apos;re not using it, and they&apos; won&apos;t change it&apos;.

I&apos;ve seen him tear into people for willful ignorance on the kernel dev lists more than once).&lt;p&gt;I&apos;ve never really seen them as cranky because they&apos;re spot on. Cranky old men usually don&apos;t have anything other than opinion behind their rantings.. Linus can at least defend his position. Given his contributions to the world of technology, I&apos;m more than willing to let the acerbic attitude slide.</text><parent_chain><item><author>marcamillion</author><text>I don&apos;t mean to be overly critical, but is it just me or are the &apos;godfathers&apos; of computer science starting to sound like cranky old men?&lt;p&gt;I mean....ok....this pull request being inferior to the way HE (the creator of Git) imagined it (or implemented it) is a bit petty imho.&lt;p&gt;What&apos;s with the complaining?
