NAME
bk obscure − obscure BitKeeper file comments and
contents
SYNOPSIS
bk obscure
WARNING
This command will destroy your repository; do it if and only
if the repository in question is an unneeded copy.
DESCRIPTION
The bk obscure command is typically used if you wish
to send a repository to BitKeeper for performance analysis
and/or debugging. All data files have their contents and
comments obscured. The intent is that the obscuring of the
repository data will result in a repository which has the
same size, shape, number of deltas, number of changesets,
etc., but with different data.
The current method used to obscure the data is to sort each line of data alphabetically, i.e.,
Please obscure me
turns into
ussromleeeecbaP
The obscuring is currently fairly simple and is theoretically reversible with enough compute power so this is not a means to encrypt a repository.
