That commit does not appear to be part of any branch of the main repository, and also appears to contain non-changes to every file in the repository.

There are known private keys somewhere in Lib/test for use in tests.  If you're referring to something else, please point it out a bit more clearly, preferably with a link directly to the file :)

If you're talking about accidentally committing your own private key to your personal fork of the repo, your best course is probably to delete your fork and re-fork, though I don't know if that will actually make that commit go away forever; you'd need to talk to GitHub about that.
