The problem I have with a public repository is that the registration software includes login details to shopping carts for (at the moment) three separate conferences, and maybe later credit card payment services providers (eg PayPal, Protx, SecPay). OK, so in the current software this is held in config files, but at some time someone is bound to commit it in error whatever precautions you take. Also, for the sake of convenience, I'm storing the delegates' data and if you make that public you'd be into all sorts of data protection issues. So for now the registration part of it should be private.
