Visual Studio published my DB passwords

Wasn't that nice of it? *.pubxml is .gitignore-ed innit? Why yes it is. VS ignored that directive and published it anyway. Thanks much. Fortunately it's just a low profile Azure SQL DB and a learning experience in resetting the password on the Azure DB plus fixing the password configured in the relevant Azure website.

More importantly, google found me this:

Which worked like a charm. Cleaning up after the problem took three times as long as actually fixing it. Sounds just about right to me.
