VS Code inserting 'Co-Authored-by Copilot' into commits regardless of usage

Hacker News users flagged a VS Code issue that could add a “Co-Authored-by Copilot” line to Git commits by default.

Commenters said a configuration mismatch made the behavior happen even without clear user intent.

The issue matters because Git commits are part of the software record, and automatic AI attribution can affect authorship trust and compliance.
