+ *
+ * All of the files for this site are stored in `meta.svn`, except for `config-private.php`, which is ignored.
+ *
+ * Naming the config files explicitly with `public` and `private` removes any ambiguity that could lead to sensitive
+ * information accidentally being added to the public file, or to `wp-config.php`, which is also public.
