- hk__2 5y ago> Even better, flipping "public/private" has absolutely no need to delete any information at all. Of course it does. You can’t watch/star a private repo unless you have access, so all watchers/starrers should be removed. If you kept the data as-is watchers would still see the repo updates in their feed, which is the opposite of the 'private' feature promise.
