fast-export: allow seeding the anonymized mapping
After you anonymize a repository, it can be hard to find which commits
correspond between the original and the result, and thus hard to
reproduce commands that triggered bugs in the original.
Let's make it possible to seed the anonymization map. This lets users
either:
- mark names to be retained as-is, if they don't consider them secret
(in which case their original commands would just work)
- map names to new values, which lets them adapt the reproduction
recipe to the new names without revealing the originals
The implementation is fairly straight-forward. We already store each
anonymized token in a hashmap (so that the same token appearing twice is
converted to the same result). We can just introduce a new "seed"
hashmap which is consulted first.
This does make a few more promises to the user about how we'll anonymize
things (e.g., token-splitting pathnames). But it's unlikely that we'd
want to change those rules, even if the actual anonymization of a single
token changes. And it makes things much easier for the user, who can
unblind only a directory name without having to specify each path within
it.
One alternative to this approach would be to anonymize as we see fit,
and then dump the whole refname and pathname mappings to a file. This
does work, but it's a bit awkward to use (you have to manually dig the
items you care about out of the mapping).

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the “What's cooking” reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name “git” was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as “the stupid content tracker” and the name as (depending on your mood):
