Histogram data being pushed to github

There are a select few in the group that have been using Github as a Local Client push to a Repository setup in GitHub. Questions were brought up today about the security, and possible issues when it comes to data being pushed in this method.

Looking over code we have noticed that there is Histogram data within some of the class files that could be considered a security issue. Does anyone else have concerns with the Histogram data being within the class files pushed up to github?

But if you add this flag, you will loose valuable tuned-table information perhaps ran on a system with a representative dataset. 

<AverageFieldSize>9.62</AverageFieldSize>

<Selectivity>0.7246%</Selectivity>

<BlockCount>-12</BlockCount>

OutlierSelectivity also is nice but contains "real data" and should be avoided. On our end we plan to run a "linting" script after exportation but before commit to keep valuable stats but omit the data itself (such as the one in the histogram). 

Does this seems like a good way to do it ?
