What's that a reference to? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] onlinepersona@programming.dev 6 points 1 year ago Some instances of one of the mercurial devs being a bully. It was a long time ago and I can't remember the alias of the dev, but I do remember they had merge or commit rights - whatever those are called in mercurial. It felt like they had their own Linus but different. Whether they are still active or whether they still are like that, I dunno. Certainly hope they changed. Dunno if the git mailing list was as toxic. Didn't investigate that. Anti Commercial-AI license permalink fedilink source parent
