I don't think it's quite that simple. The id part of creating a commit
object is not a local operation at all. You choose the id written in a
commit for a specific remote target, it has no use locally, most of us
do not need it to reach themselves.

So yes there is a leak but it’s built in the git commit logic itself.
Ideally, git would defer resolving <me> in commits to when I push to a
remote target. I'm sure you’re aware of all the workarounds git users do
at push time, when they realize the commit <me> is not the good one.

And since the leak is built in the commit logic itself, there are no
perfect solutions that do not involve revisiting how commit works.

So, unless someone wants to revisit git commit, we’re left with
imperfect solutions, and git credentials is no worse than another. It
certainly fixes my use case fine. You did good work in git credentials.
