Hi there,
I'm not sure if this post will be very welcome, but I'd like your
feedback or suggestions. I've been reading Jon Loeliger's book about
git and I've understood many many things. I'm interested in using git
as a backup and sync system between computers.
The one thing I'm missing is files metadata. I thought the simplest
approach would be to create a "hidden" file containing the output from
stat (or something similar but more helpful). Then hash that "hidden"
file as well or even make it part of the real file (ie first line of
every file are their metadata)... I think I should look into some
hooks, but I'd need some guidance to get started... help appreciated!
Simon
