Another take home...

NEVER MIX WORK AND PLEASURE!

Sorry to shout but it could very likely be a case of being lazy and not correctly separating work repos (and thus secured private repos unless your workplace is a tight arse, in which case just roll your own git/CVS locally) and personal pet projects on public repos.

Personally I take it a step further and just keep work on a work dev machine and everything else on my own machines. No chance of forgetting which git I'm signed into.
