Hi all
When checking the release notes of Git v2.4, I stumbled upon various
hilariously stupid entries like:
* "git format-patch" learned to write...
* "git clone" from an empty repository learned to propagate ...
* "git send-email" learned to giv
and even:
* "git mergetool" and "git difftool" learns a new...
* The credential subsystem learns
I can maybe live with:
* "git push" has been taught
* A few subcommands have been taught
Is this some sort of joke, or AI/chat-gpt bandwagonin?
To my knowledge, git 2.41 still is a piece of software written and
enhanced by human beings and neither is taught something, let alone even
"learned" or is "learning" something.
Why on earth is git now being described as some sort of sentient,
self-optimizing being?
Are technical git Release Notes now being written some kind of marketing
people?
Bye
Tim
