So what? Admitting fault isn't absolution. He really does go out of his way to blame the tools.

The tool has a huge bug! Even if he wasn't putting credentials in there, it could still have led to sensitive source code getting out or something!

Article updated - VS wasn't the issue. He had installed a 3rd party github extension (from github themselves) that overrides the built-in Git support in visual studio... bug was found, confirmed and fixed yesterday though, so a quick turnaround.
