It is amusing to see someone trying hard to hoodwink others, but since it seems many people do not understand the difference between a git tree and a PR, I think there is a teachable moment here:

Anyone can have a git tree. It's as easy as cloning an existing one. Git is a decentralized revision control system. You can clone your own off Monero, and do anything you like to it. You can then PR anything. This is what open source is all about: you can modify the source to do anything you like. Open source, however, does not enable you to force others to merge your stuff into their own tree, and that is what is apparent here, despite someone who (I think) understands this very well, but is preying on people's naivety. So this illustrates the power open source software gives all of you. You are free to do anything on your own copy. You are free to choose to merge, or not, whatever you want from what others may have done. Exercise wisdom on what you choose to merge, and you will be standing on the shoulders of giants.
