#22It'd be a useful feature for github and bitbucket to have a default pre-commit that scans for probably-sensitive files and reject commits like that (maybe with a repo setting to opt out on the website, if you think you know what you're doing) edit: In fact, they should probably run a full search for such files now and email a heads-up to users with repos that produce hits.
They might think of that as crossing a line - from just hosting and enabling you to do what you want to do to actually telling you what you want to do.

#23I almost can't believe someone would commit their .ssh directory to a public GitHub repo. Seriously - why? Your public key, sure, but the entire directory?
In all likelihood, these are NOT the user's private SSH keys, but a key generated for the service that the user is developing - such as a key to run backups and issue remote commands. Thus I can well see that the key could be committed as part of an application stack.
No, some of these repositories are user's dotfiles. See this for example, https://github.com/gomachan/dotfiles
There are many examples like this.

#24It would be interesting to find out what % are password-protected.
