This looks to _not_ be a piece of the development project. Settings used
for the tests suites, company where you work, etc _are_ clones (from the
abstract POV, at least) of the maintainer public repository.

If you want to track changes of settings in a per-production-repo basis,
you should do it _out_ of your main development repository. The latter
should have a publishable template instead (eg. "user = user_login",
"password = set_your_password").
