Bug#1015773: O: gitbrute -- brute-force a git commit hash



Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
Control: affects -1 src:gitbrute

The gitbrute package uses an awful language that shouldn't be used among
polite coders.  Apparently its author was paid to use (and worse, develop)
it, but now I realize that the only way to not get anymore golang on myself
is to not maintain anything written in it.

Thus, I hereby orphan the package.

It can change a git commit's hash to have a prefix you request, and if
the prefix you demand is short enough, it may even find it before the heat
death of the universe.  A nifty trick to troll your cow-orkers with,
once or twice.
