When pulling from a remote, the full URL including username
is by default added to the commit message. Since it adds
very little value but could be used by malicious people to
glean valid usernames (with matching hostnames), we're far
better off just stripping the username before storing the
remote URL locally.
Note that this patch has no lasting visible effect when
"git pull" does not create a merge commit. It simply
alters what gets written to .git/FETCH_HEAD, which is used
by "git merge" to automagically create its messages.

I made some minor modifications to your function, Junio.
* use xcalloc() instead of malloc() to make sure the string
is nul-terminated.
* take strlen() of anon_part instead of calculating the whole
thing once, as we use that measurement twice.
* moved handling of !scheme_prefix && !is_bare_ssh_url(url)
up top, so both conditions can be seen at once on my fairly
cramped editor.
