Rsync 3.4.3 has hundreds of Claude commits

So my systems recently updated to rsync 3.4.3, and as soon as that happened my backup system - which does incremental backups using multiple --compare-dest= arguments - started to fail on anything but a full backup. Revert to 3.4.1 and it works. So I go look at the source in GitHub to see what might have changed, because there doesn't seem to be anything relevant in the changelog. Since 3.4.1, 36 commits by "tridge and claude" Oh for fuck's sakes.
I don't get why people just gleefully add these ads for companies to their open-source projects that do not pay them a penny (but actively take money from them in subscription fees).
"Assisted by blabot", "co-authored-by: slopgpt", "sent from my fartphone"
Why? It's a fucking ad. I bet you use ad blockers, yet you add ads to your commits.
Stop that.
Disclose your "AI" tools in a merge request if needed but leave them out of the damn commits, those are for technical information and not for advertising. Or just add "generated by an LLM" but do not give those companies free advertising space. Or just.. Do not use these tools, which is fairly easy.
Any tool that adds advertising to commits or emails or whatever messages is a really bad one.
Fuck ads.
