Thanks Philip. I needed to run it on a bare clone: if I ran it on my local repo it only exported local branches... which I guess makes sense in retrospect but it would be useful if the help page had mentioned it explicitly. However no big deal it didn't take me long to figure it out. Now to see if this anonymized version shows the bug...

Re: [git-users] Recreating repo structure without content?
In the fast export there is the --anonymise capability. Have a look at that. https://git-scm.com/docs/git-fast-export#git-fast-export---anonymize https://git-scm.com/docs/git-fast-export#_anonymizing Philip - Original Message - From: Paul Smith To: git-users@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, September 27, 2017 5:52 PM Subject: [git-users] Recreating repo structure without content? Hi all. I'm wondering if anyone has a script or something that will allow me to create a new repository which recreates the commit structure (parent/child, branches, merges) of an existing repository, but with obfuscated content. It's OK if this is slow. My goal is to provide a test case that can reproduce a failure that appears only in our long-lived and complex Git repository, without having to hand over the actual content of the Git repository. Obviously the SHAs would not be the same, but that's not relevant (I'm sure). My suspicion is that the problem is caused by the very complex spaghetti branching structure we used to live with back in 2011/2012, before we imposed sanity.

You need the `git filter-branch` command. To make it as fast as possible, you can use it with the "--index-filter" command-line option and script around it with `git cat-file` and `git update-index`. If you'd prefer to trade speed for easiness of implementation, consider the "--tree-filter" command-line option instead. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
