Yes, it was mentioned in the previous thread about tracking /etc in git.
I've looked at it but it seemed to not store any metadata. Also, it seemed
like overkill for just keeping a history of my /etc.
It also used a lot of hairy "grep -v" and similar tricks to run git but to
mangle the output before it's shown to the user. I'd prefer to interact
directly with git which I'm already familiar with...and git already has
everything I need for tracking /etc with the exception of the metadata.
