That scary because in all the repositories I've made public so far, I always have a private version with the full commit history and start a new public repository when I'm comfortable publishing it. I don't even know if I could do it another way because at the early stages of a project I tend to leave a lot of junk in the commits that I wouldn't want to be public :/
