pip-compile replaces password in URL with ****

[jhoelzl]

I am using Python 3.6.8, pip-tools 19.1 and setuptools 41.0.1 in an virtual environment.

Since some days, when i compile my requirements.in file which includes a package format with an git repo url like:

...
-e git+http://user:password@myhost.com/scm/path/git-repo-name.git#egg=packagename
google-api-python-client
...

the password string in the url is replaces with "***":

...
-e git+http://user:****@myhost.com/scm/path/git-repo-name.git#egg=packagename
google-api-python-client==1.7.8
...

Is there a way to prevent this behaviour?

Regards,
Josef

Hello @jhoelzl,

Thank you for the good catch! It seems the issue has been appeared since pip>=19.0, see pypa/pip#5773. With the pip==18.1 works good.
