 no private data in the stream.
 
+Reproducing some bugs may require referencing particular commits or
+paths, which becomes challenging after refnames and paths have been
+anonymized. You can ask for a particular token to be left as-is or
+mapped to a new value. For example, if you have a bug which reproduces
+with `git rev-list sensitive -- secret.c`, you can run:
+
+---------------------------------------------------
+$ git fast-export --anonymize --all \
+      --anonymize-map=sensitive:foo \
+      --anonymize-map=secret.c:bar.c \
+      >stream
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+After importing the stream, you can then run `git rev-list foo -- bar.c`
+in the anonymized repository.
+
+Note that paths and refnames are split into tokens at slash boundaries.
+The command above would anonymize `subdir/secret.c` as something like
+`path123/bar.c`; you could then search for `bar.c` in the anonymized
+repository to determine the final pathname.
+
+To make referencing the final pathname simpler, you can map each path
+component; so if you also anonymize `subdir` to `publicdir`, then the
+final pathname would be `publicdir/bar.c`.
