I'm not too worried either way, just tried to knock the patch out quickly because it came up and this seemed like the logical solution. In all honesty though, whilst I don't have a problem with unix humour being in git, I do have a bit of a problem with it being in error messages since when these are displayed it means that a users system is preventing them from using git for whatever reason, and at those times there's a good chance you're worried about fixing that problem, not laughing at a joke made by Linus several years ago. Just my 2 cents. It's probably not worth too much bother since it'll only ever show up very rarely.
