You should consider it. Gives live updates to the public automatically. Could probably satisfy everyone's thirst for updates.

Part in red is why we can't do it. Our repository contains classified code (like the anti-cheat for example) which our commit logs do refer to. Automatic updates based on this information could certainly help in breaking the anti-cheat and that is bad.

Security by obscurity isn't security at all. You have to make the assumption that the bad guys already know what you're trying to implement/have implemented.

Perhaps anticheat isn't the only reason why we cannot give out live repository updates. Also, showing what we updated might give hints on where cheaters have to look to make old cheats work. When they don't know where to look, it will be harder to find specific changes, which is only a good thing, as it will make the game cheatfree for a longer period of time.

That is after all what we all want.
