That conversation is happening at https://github.com/torvalds/diveclog/pull/18. Basically Linus dislikes the commit log generation because the information in it drops essential information.

In Linus doesn't like GitHub's pull requests

Why not fix all the typos if it's as easy as clicking 'edit file'? He has the option to merge it by clicking one button. I just can't see the downside. He didn't want to merge it due to the lack of signed-off-by, but at least he knows there's a typo there now and can fix it or let it be if it doesn't bother him. (For the record, this was not the first typo fix contributed, see https://github.com/torvalds/diveclog/pull/2 for something he already pulled in.)

The README file is great: https://github.com/torvalds/diveclog/blob/master/README TL/DR: I've never used GTK before, I know my code sucks, but my little divelog program is better than anything else I could find, and if someone wants to fix my code they are welcome to do so.
