From 0c04235d320c1ebe5e29867dfbcf48109e61d544 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joey Hess Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2009 22:44:05 -0500 Subject: uninit and auto-init * Add uninit subcommand, which cleans up all etckeeper and VCS droppings in /etc. This is useful if you want to switch to a different VCS and don't have any history to preserve. (Preserving history and converting is of course possible, but significantly harder.) * Run etckeeper init on initial install. Closes: #505772 (The idea being that if someone doesn't want to use git, they can immediatly uninit to easily reverse this.) * Document how to change the VCS used by etckeeper, without preserving any history. Preserving history left as an exersise for the reader.
