Make etckeeper commit store metadata changes.
The pre-commit hook has always (and continues) to do that, but pre-commit
is only run when there are changes to tommit. This makes metadata-only
changes get committed.
Note that the reason the pre-commit hook continues to also store metadata
changes is to support manual git commit run in /etc.

I think the best solution might be to call `etckeeper pre-commit` from in `etckeeper commit`. + +> [[fixed|done]] --[[Joey]] |
