Cassandrich@jzb They don't want it on the page. That's the whole point. They want it in your project's immutable history, forever visible regardless of where you move and forever injecting whatever their message was into crawlers/training-sets/etc.
@jzb Oddly, I kinda expect this to backfire. People will hate it so much that they will fork pre-slop versions of projects *just to get rid of the ads in the commit log*.

You can (hopefully) shake that person and boot them after the fact, but this is a scarlet letter for someone being that careless with your repo. If they're doing it for anything that simple, they're doing it for everything. I would examine their contributions very carefully.

Jonathan E CowperthwaitLook, GitHub aren’t going to be surprised by any sort of “backlash.” They employ plenty of very smart market research people who can model out exactly how mad we’ll be and how little it matters.
So, here we shout into the void, “you suck!” and the void shouts back, “we know!, and we don’t care!”
