Certainly, but you need to have overriding legitimate grounds. An interest is not enough for justification. You have to weight your interests against those of the subject.

No it certainly did not and I don't see how it could.

All the GDPR arguably demands is that the author's identity is deleted from a public repository if he wishes so.

Just assume it was a CVS repo. Then removal would not be any issue at all. It is a technical speciality of git that makes the removal so intricate to implement, which is not at all an intrinsic property of open source development.

It prohibits publishing, and only after a request to be forgotten. It does not prohibit storing your private copy.

Best wishes Peter
