Description
When pulling a dataset from the hub, it would be useful to have some metadata about the specific dataset and version that is used. The metadata could then be passed to the `Trainer` which could then be saved to a model card. This is useful for people who run many experiments on different versions (commits/branches) of the same dataset.
The dataset could have a list of “source datasets” metadata and ignore what happens to them before arriving in the Trainer (i.e. ignore mapping, filtering, etc.).
Here is a basic representation (made by @lhoestq )
```python
>>> from datasets import load_dataset
>>>
>>> my_dataset = load_dataset(...)["train"]
>>> my_dataset = my_dataset.map(...)
>>>
>>> my_dataset.sources
[HFHubDataset(repo_id=..., revision=..., arguments={...})]
```
