[[http://kitenet.net/~joey/code/etckeeper/|Etckeeper]] puts /etc under revision control, git
by default, which then behaves like a normal git repository.

Once installed, an admin needs to run '''etckeeper init''' to initialize ''/etc/.git'', and 
then invoke '''cd /etc/; git commit -am "Initial commit"''' to complete the install.

After that, you can cd /etc, and then execute the most useful
commands:

{{{
 git log                         (see commit dates & commit msgs)
 git log -p                      (see commits with diff included)
 git add FILE...                 (add FILE to git)
 git diff                        (see any differences since last commit)
 git commit -am "Commit message" (commit your changes after modification)
 git checkout FILE               (override FILE with version from last commit)
}}}

== Usage ==

Each time you make a change and are happy with it, run commit like `git commit -am "changed blah blah"`.

== Notes ==

EtcKeeper is better than custom solutions as it also adds apt hooks, so the files
are added and commited to git automatically before/after apt-get installs.
