strange message in output #266

Closed notslang closed 6 years ago

notslang commented 6 years ago

When I run the tool, it operates correctly, but at the end of the output I get this message:

--
You can rewrite history in Git - don't let Trump do it for real!
Trump's administration has lied consistently, to make people give up on ever
being told the truth. Don't give up: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/trump-administration
--

...Which is unexpected and weird. I get it every time I use the tool, so it should be easy to reproduce. It's not clear why it's there or how to disable it, since it has nothing to do with bfg. Is this some kind of paid ad for The Guardian?

This certainly is strange. I've used this tool quite a lot, and it seems the source file is here: https://github.com/rtyley/bfg-repo-cleaner/blob/8a452b9cfe0fb6bf850da53a539ea1484b8f8587/bfg/src/main/scala/com/madgag/git/bfg/cli/stoptrump/package.scala

The message used to be a simple message asking for BFG support, however was recently changed with the following commit message. Guess it is just the author's political views, it's their software after all...

This doesn't relate to the functionality of the BFG, and some might find the message unwanted. Yet Trump and his administration are a massive threat to the future of humanity, and they have the power to repeat their lies, hate and bile - loudly and incessantly. Occasional reminders that they're full of shit are a good thing.

This needs to be removed. Get the dumb politics out of a software tool and grow up.

https://github.com/Tatsh/bfg-repo-cleaner/releases is an older version but should still work if you wish for a non-political version. remember that this is free software with well documented build instructions.
