I think that even just on private machines, this would make some types of legal compliance needlessly difficult. If you ever need to delete that data, for example to comply with a corporate retention policy or in response to a request from an individual in a jurisdiction that requires you allow doing so, you would need not just to rewrite history but also to ensure that history is rewritten in every clone that any employee has ever made of that repository; there might not even be a record of which clones exist.
