I haven’t seen what this is about since it’s a video. But Torvalds hasn’t had much involvement in the Git project itself since (random cutoff) 2010 or earlier.<p>One example of a recent feature was `--date=human`. That patch was in fact taken across the finish line by another person, Stephen P. Smith. It doesn’t look like it links to where Torvalds posted it originally.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lore.kernel.org&#x2F;git&#x2F;20181231003150.8031-1-ischis2@cox.net&#x2F;#t" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lore.kernel.org&#x2F;git&#x2F;20181231003150.8031-1-ischis2@co...</a>
