The main goal here is to avoid PII to be committed to the repo. We don't care about local copies. Sure, upon detecting lines with potential PII, a pre-commit hook can trigger a failure. It will not allow a commit until the user manually removes the offending lines and tries to re-commit (hook will run again, and so on).

Perhaps https://git-scm.com/docs/gitattributes#_filter could be a better idea, as it achieves the goal, while still allowing the user to keep their own copy of a file with PII still in it. Only the repo, and thus anyone who checks out will have a version without PII.

We'll discuss internally.
