My developers use CVS.
Sometimes, they are really stupid, and they will checkin passwords.
With the RCS archives, I can use vi (or nano, or any other reasonable editor), and remove this foolishness.
When I run "git cvsconvert" any foolishness is ENGRAVED IN STONE.
Removal is possible in git, but not easy.
This is my problem. THERE ARE SO MANY IDIOTS. What can I do?
EDIT: For Windows-centric users of git, you need to run this in every and all repositories RIGHT NOW.
git grep -i password $(git rev-list --all)
[actually, everybody should try it]
