Turns out that stuff you commit and remove in later commits stays in git history and is searchable.
That, kids, is why you either squash your commits or just don't put swears in your debug code.
Especially if you have literally dozens of colleagues on the same codebase.
And you work in a large organisation where this sort of thing is frowned upon.

The crime was months ago, I wonder what the statute of limitations is on that.

And yes, in the years-long history of the codebase it's JUST me that's used any of the big three.
