Re: [GIT PULL] hardening fixes for v6.16-rc1 - Linus Torvalds
Short TL;DR: nothing burger
Longer TL;DR: Linus sees bad changes to the git tree by Kees Cook that he interprets as being of human origin and intentional, calls them "malicious" changes and orders that Kees Cook's privileges be revoked. Turns out that the "git-filter-repo" tool being used was actually the culprit as it is very powerful and incorrect usage explains the changes. Discussion then moves toward implementing safety checks in the tooling. Kees gets his permissions back.
Cook's razor: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by screwing up git
commands."
The person who created git
clearly cannot be trusted to write good kernel code. I'm CC'ing Konstantin to disable his account, whoever he is.
screwing up git commands
You mean "using git." It's the only piece of software that I hate with Oracle. Jujutsu is a breath of fresh air and I can ignore that git ever existed.
Sometimes a short bit of drama is good motivation to actually read the mailing list 😁
Linus needs to chill. Let him Cook.
