The readme is educational too. Thought it'd be worth mentioning them etckeeper http://kitenet.net/~joey/code/etckeeper/ etckeeper uses metastore, which sounds useful too as a pre-commit-hook http://david.hardeman.nu/software.php mr - for your cross-SCM projects http://kitenet.net/~joey/code/mr/ adding them to the git wiki too ;-) -- with a bit of luck, this will kill the next "how do I store etc with git" flamefest... happy new year! m
