Okay, in case it was missed, my salient point was that this behavior is very common and provided a ridiculous example as my evidence. I'm making no commentary on the practice itself (although I do think committing configs like secrets is really silly and anti-productive)

You think tracking configuration in source control is anti-productive?

[JohnMakin]

When it comes to secrets, usually yes, as my post indicated. YMMV

[NewJazz]

You said "like secrets". I wasn't sure what that modifier extended to exactly...
