This whole thing is a waste of bytes. Simply adding someone to a repo makes it show up in their private repositories list and nowhere else. Annoying? Probably.

This whole thing is a waste of bytes.
Simply adding someone to a repo makes it show up in their private repositories list and nowhere else. Annoying? Probably. A big deal? Hardly. (To have it show up anywhere else you have to commit to it.)
The HackerNewsTips twitter account is not confirmed to be a GitHub employee and rtomayko, who is at least somewhat trustworthy, flat out says it isn't.
The only interesting thing here is the bug related to the `[0-9a-f]{40}` regex -- and that's been fixed.
It's over, and it would be great if we could move on quickly from this one.

- thenduks 15y agoI'm not disputing that it's annoying. Props to GitHub if they improve it soon for sure. I just have better things to do than start a big flamewar over something like this. If you add me to some joke repo and start doing these 'certain actions' so I get useless emails... well, I'll just write a mail filter that blackholes them and get right back to work.
