$You now have a bundle of worthless nonsense in your history.
Sometimes you just want to test your post-receive hook, and you really don't have time to sit there
waiting for someone to push some commits to you repo.
- Support for generating nonsense in languages other than perl
- Use a markov chain to generate commit messages
- ... for that matter, fetching all sorts of frequency info from another repo and using that
- ... with anonimisation options
- Options for pushing as other users (say with different ssh keys)
- Ability for bogus committers to revert commits too
- some kind of marker to indicate which commits came from this script (so they can be easily reverted)
- Have the bogus authors rebase commits (by running 2 instances at the same time?)
- Have some authors insist on doing merges
- ... and have them resolve conflicts in their own favour, even when they're clearly being jerks and breaking the project >_<
