My workflow is like this: +I have a hgignore to ignore everything and adding files explicitly. There are also exceptions from that where I want to track for new files: + +Ignoring everyhing would be: + + syntax: glob + ** + +With exceptions: + + syntax: regexp + + # Ignore anything in root folder but include .hgignore and special folders: + #^(?!.hgignore|data|DATA|NFS|usr(/local(/lib(/site_perl|$)|$)|$)|etc(/init.d(/*.sh$|$)|$)) + # OR + ^(?!boot(/config|$)|etc(/runlevels|$)) + +The long time problem is that etckeeper tries to scan the whole repo root which is / here because I also track some items in /usr/local or /root. Those find on / take far too long and never come back. + +Therefore I dropped pre-commit.d/20warn-problem-files completely since I know which files I added explicitly. I also dropped the search for empty directories because I only add specific files. +As for 30store-metadata I added hg status -nacu for getting all relevant files: + +[[!format bash """ +--- /root/src/etckeeper/pre-commit.d/30store-metadata 2015-02-19 13:13:46.171485949 +0100 ++++ pre-commit.d/30store-metadata 2015-02-19 13:28:01.593456235 +0100 +@@ -59,7 +59,10 @@ generate_metadata() { + # (Note that when using this, the find expression must end with + # -print or -exec, else the excluded directories will actually be + # printed!) +- NOVCS='. -path ./.git -prune -o -path ./.bzr -prune -o -path ./.hg -prune -o -path ./_darcs -prune -o' ++ if [ "$VCS" = hg ]; then ++ HG_FILES="$(hg status -nacu)" ++ fi ++ NOVCS="${HG_FILES:-.} -path ./.git -prune -o -path ./.bzr -prune -o -path ./.hg -prune -o -path ./_darcs -prune -o" + + # Keep the sort order the same at all times. + LC_COLLATE=C +@@ -68,8 +71,9 @@ generate_metadata() { + if [ "$VCS" = git ] || [ "$VCS" = hg ]; then + # These version control systems do not track directories, + # so empty directories must be stored specially. +- find $NOVCS -type d -empty -print | +- sort | shellquote | sed -e "s/^/mkdir -p /" ++# find ${HG_FILES:- } $NOVCS -type d -empty -print | ++# sort | shellquote | sed -e "s/^/mkdir -p /" ++ true + fi + + if [ "$VCS" = darcs ]; then +@@ -110,12 +114,12 @@ generate_metadata() { + s/^/$q/; + s/$/$q/; + if ($uid != $>) { +- printf "maybe chown $q%s$q %s\n", uidname($uid), $_; ++ printf "maybe chown -c $q%s$q %s\n", uidname($uid), $_; + } + if ($gid != $)) { +- printf "maybe chgrp $q%s$q %s\n", gidname($gid), $_; ++ printf "maybe chgrp -c $q%s$q %s\n", gidname($gid), $_; + } +- printf "maybe chmod %04o %s\n", $mode & 07777, $_; ++ printf "maybe chmod -c %04o %s\n", $mode & 07777, $_; + ' +"""]] + +Thanks for the new website beside the very basic debian bugtracker.
