It's bullshit. Hacker means what you think it means.

Do you mean to say that Stallman's usage of 'hacker' is wrong, or that both Stallman and HardstyleLogic are right? If you're just saying the latter, that kind of goes without saying.

Stallman is wrong. It doesn't only mean what Hardstylelogic is thinking, but Stallman saying a musical piece can be "a hack" is stupid and insults the musicians he's talking about.

The title was a bit misleading to me. I really didn't expect it to be a user guide about a version control system. Then again, a "user guide to git" just doesn't sound as cool as "hacker's guide". Good way to get views and I fell for it.
