Will this also, without my permission, delete repositories & forks from my laptop that have been DMCA'd on Github?

- macspoofing 9y agoYikes. They did that?
- gregmac 9y agoThere seem to be a lot of repositories taken down from Github.com [1] -- over 30 in the past week alone. I am not sure if they've removed repositories from local PCs ever, but presumably with control over the client they could, similar to what Amazon can do with the Kindle [2].

- mdaniel 9y agoYikes, did it take locally modified repo state with it? I mean, even if not that's still horrible, but deleting changes you made is inexcusable And did it delete the .git or the entire working directory?
