Data that you place with an entity that is a large organization with many commercial and government ties - must be assumed to be accessible to some of those parties.
And if that entity has a complex system of storage and retrieval of data by and for many users, that changes frequently, without public scrutiny - it should be assumed that data breaches are likely to occur.
So I don't see it as very problematic that GitHub's private repositories, or deleted repositories, are only kind-sorta-sometimes private and deleted.
And it's silly that the article refers to one creating an "internal version" of a repository - on GitHub....
Still, interesting to know about the network-of-repositories concept.
