>leak what

For example when the commits were made. I would not like to share publicly for the whole world when I have worked with some project of mine. Commits themselves could also contain something that you don't want to share or commit messages.

At least I approach stuff differently depending if I am sharing it with whole world, with myself or with people who I trust.

Scrubbing git history when going from private to public should be seen totally normal.

Or first thousand commits were squashed. First public commit tells nothing about how this was developed. If I were to publish something that I have worked on my own for a long time, I would definitely squash all early commits into a single one just to be sure I don't accidentally leak something that I don't want to leak.
