Linus Torvalds on Word-Wrapping Git Commit Messages

Is it ironic that his comments are harder to read (on mobiles) precisely because of his weird self-imposed word wrapping?

I get it. His arguments make sense because they don’t want to bake in a specific “start block quote character”, and without that generic word wrapping is quite difficult (even though everyone uses >).

But not every tool suffers

from this issue and it’s quite

annoying to read text like

this

Does he have a reputation for being a prick? Because man, that guy seems adversarial in all of his replies.
