Subject: GDPR compliance best practices?
Date: Tue, 17 Apr 2018 21:15:49 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180417191549.GA1199@helen.PLASMA.Xg8.DE> (raw)

Hi,

I'd like to ask whether anyone has best practices for achieving GDPR 
compliance for git repos? The GDPR will come into effect in the EU next 
month.

In particular, how do you cope with the "Right to erasure" concerning 
entries in the history of your git repos?

Erasing author names from the history changes the commit hashes.  It is 
well known that this leads to a lot of problems.  So I don't consider 
this a workable solution.

And how do you justify publishing your employee's name/email as part of 
a git commit under GDPR rules in the first place?

github has the following page mentioning the "Right to erasure" but 
AFAICS nothing about how it will be implemented
https://about.gitlab.com/gdpr/

Here are discussions I found but they do not really provide a solution:
https://law.stackexchange.com/questions/24623/gdpr-git-history
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16509755

Best wishes
Peter
