Why are politics (re Trump) output to console? #387

Closed jtheletter closed 4 years ago

jtheletter commented 4 years ago

First-time user of this code. I see several closed issues about this. Why were they closed, this is still a problem. It's useless, distracting, an inappropriate. Example output follows. 

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.rescue.org/topic/refugees-america

The author doesn't care. I wrote a Bash script that runs the tool's output through sed and filters out the political rubbish. I opened a bug report on this, as have others, to no avail. These reports simply get closed.

Yeah, it's unprofessional. I'm going to fork this project and get rid of that crap. Stay tuned.

Cheers David

I've forked this project, and will have a release soon. Been wanting to learn Scala, now I've a reason 😁.

FYI, for those interested I've forked this project and renamed it 'gitclean'. Anything unprofessional will be removed, and I'll take bug reports and enhancement requests. I should have the first version ready sometime next week. Monitor the project page -https://github.com/youngde811/gitclean - for announcements. I'll make no further posts here. The author of bfg-repo-cleaner does deserve credit for a fine tool, regardless.
