Memos from Captain Obvious: 1. Don't leave security-sensitive credentials
sitting around in publicly accessible .git subdirectories on publicly
accessible servers. 2. When using a distributed SCM such as git, use it
in distributed fashion such that full contents including all metadata
exist in multiple places. Otherwise, if you need to take seriously
feeble extortion demands because you haplessly have no backups of your
repos, people are likely to laugh and point. 3. Don't take El Reg
seriously on anything relevant to security.
