Wait a minute, he also erased his "bash history". Was he suspected of
covering up assaults as well??
I don't think the suspicion arose because the repository was named
"subversion". I think it was because source code was being transferred to
an outside location. It could have been called "Utter conformist corporate
monkey" repository and it would have still raised suspicion.
Yes, people are ignorant about things (I'm sure we don't have to look too
hard to find things about this we too are ignorant). But I don't think the
name of Subversion would have prevented this from happening. There were
some suspicious things going on (I'm ignorant of the details, but from the
article it does sound, at the start, suspicious). But I think
Goldman-Sachs should have had a better understanding of what was happening
before they called in the Feds....
