2007-11-05store empty directories and restore in etckeeper initJoey Hess
While working on this, I had to consider security policies -- is it ok if etckeeper init can run code from the /etc repository? I've decided this should be ok, and documented that it should only be run on trusted repos. Note that metastore could also be exploited by untrusted repos, and of course, note that you're checking out your *** /etc *** so it damn well better be trusted! With that determined, I decided to use a simple shell script to hold the empty directory info and allow them to be easily created. Expanding this for other files git can't represent is a possibility..
