evil in addition to its original purpose, say stealing bitcoin wallet
Roger,
I am aware they these agents are not interested in fixing the problem.
As a high volume participant on Github, I wish to speak with some authority
that the actions these agent pursue betray a misunderstanding of git

It seems to me that because this is open source software,
any individual who wishes to fork the repo and write unit
