This is bad advice. If you accidentally leave personally identifiable healthcare information on some random stage server and that server gets hacked, that is a federal crime. If the data and application code are very intertwined (likely in a pre-SOA era), it can be very difficult to version control code completely isolated from PII.

Not sure how that relates to Version Control? I personally don't put production (real) data on staging servers to begin with; always scrub your production clones or generate data for testing instances. > If the data and application code are very intertwined (likely in a pre-SOA era), it can be very difficult to version control code completely isolated from PII. Maybe I am naive (never had to work on DOS), but shouldn't the data be in a database/datastore/data directory that can be ignored by source control?

- wbl 7y agoHuh? Why would the code have medical data in it?
- bontaq 7y agoIf you were to take an api response and save it for testing, but not completely remove all personal information. Easier than you'd think, or at least I could see it happening.
