We have such problems with GDPR/ DSGVO at our university now, too. That is more crazy than you can believe. We are a Faculty of Computer Science and all data should be anonymously after the leaving of or students. We are using gitlab for student projects and different online forms to register for our units. Every gitlab commit contains the email address by the Contributor. That should not be identifiable in the future because of the GDPR. We have been surprised... Sarah, thanks for bringing this up.
For quite a while I'm concerned about VCS commit histories: You never know who is going to draw which conclusions from it. E.g. your next potential employer could look into those histories and think you might not be fit into the organization because all your public commits were done late in the evening or at night. Just an example. Microsoft bought Linkedin. Microsoft bought github. Think about it. Ciao, Michael.
