It hooks into apt (and other +package managers including yum and pacman-g2) to automatically commit +changes made to /etc during package upgrades. It tracks file metadata +that revison control systems do not normally support, but that is +important for /etc, such as the permissions of /etc/shadow. +It's quite modular and configurable, while also being simple to use +if you understand the basics of working with revision control. |
