"You are uncomfortable in demonstrating your knowledge in a practical way?" Isn't that what his past projects and employment demonstrate?

  No. Past projects are typically not solo projects, so it's hard to establish who did what. We're hiring a developer for what he can do, not for what other people in his team did.

    "Past projects are typically not solo projects, so it's hard to establish who did what." That's why I give references, they can comment/confirm what I did. If they're bad (but professional) references, they'll just confirm that I worked with them. Also, I wasn't clear, but I meant personal projects (with commit records) as a separate consideration from employment.
