Maybe that is the reason?
where does the title 'what a useless commit' come from?
The OP, I'm guessing.
The commit itself appears to be a documentation formatting change.
right, I thought maybe it was an example of Linus being rude but couldn't find anything. Considering the original committer is 4 years old and 'needed a little help' I thought it was in bad taste if it was the OP.
