+Hi, I wrote emails and a bugreport for this issue but never got an answer...
+
+Currently eetckeeper does ignore the .hgignore file. 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:

+Thanks for the new website beside the very basic debian bugtracker. Please provide a bug tracker or ticket system. Please provide also simple tar-balls with the release-versions beside git-tags, that can be used by other package managers and distributions.
+
+Since some distros are already considered please integrate the Gentoo package manager so we can drop our patches:
+
+<http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/sys-apps/etckeeper/files/etckeeper-1.15-gentoo.patch>
+
+
+Best regards,
+Massimo
