Since literally everybody who has cloned a repo has a full copy of it, and since git is a decentralized revision control system, what on earth can it mean to hold a repo for ransom? The write up even says so: to recover, just push your code back up to our repo.

I really don't understand what they are talking about. It's as if someone showed me a photo of my child and said, "pay me or I'll burn this photograph".

What am I missing?
