But would the insecure people have done that work at all if they knew they would be forced to commit it publicly? Maybe so, but would it all be one huge commit to svn instead of maybe a string of more concise commits to git or mercurial?
I just envision someone insecure (like I feel at times) saying, well, I'll just clone this and play around on my own machine. Then after making some commits and building up courage, saying, OK, I'll try and go public with this. With centralized VCS that seems less likely to me. The insecure programmer just won't even try. I don't know, it's probably different for different people.
