Yeah but if the stuff is opaque to git, you'll definitely end up with security issues, which makes it also a no-go for /etc versionning. Note that I don't specifically care about git being able to deal with /etc, I was just pointing out some issues I can see with it, but I'm neiter in favor nor against it. --=20 =C2=B7O=C2=B7 Pierre Habouzit =C2=B7=C2=B7O madcoder@debia= n.org OOO http://www.madism.org --QRj9sO5tAVLaXnSD Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBG6/ncvGr7W6HudhwRAl9KAKCH/OstUrz/q4L4EcTOtjGGJ43c0wCeMJ+r gVyt/pttYAv1Ofkcp8HeSUk= =Mh2O -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --QRj9sO5tAVLaXnSD--
