etckeeper is a collection of tools to let /etc be stored in a git
repository. It hooks into apt to automatically commit changes made to /etc
-during package upgrades. It uses `metastore` to track file metadata that
-git does not normally support, but that is important for /etc, such as the
-permissions of `/etc/shadow`. It's quite modular and configurable, while
-also being simple to use if you understand the basics of working with git.
