A comment on Git pissed.

I am confused by the suggestion that the word "love" would indicate happiness. Usually when I use that in source code, I'm being sarcastic. As in, Don't you love the fact that Google's API documentation is inaccurate?

This is probably a homage to the original Linux Kernel Fuck Count[1] which included love in its search.

Yes, but statistically that will be mere noise, just like I love love love this algorithm or this algorithm works hand in g love with that other one.

Maybe. It is possible that the word is used sarcastically more often than literally though. For instance, it wouldn't surprise me to learn that the word "literally" may actually be used more often to mean "not literally".

'Literally' is already in the OED as 'not literally': http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/10240917/Uproar-as-OED-...
