Package: etckeeper Version: 0.53 Severity: wishlist
Hello, using Mercurial as VCS I get modified .etckeeper files all over the place while using etckeeper, for example while doing a commit using the -A/--addremove option where the added files are not root/root and 644. So I have to commit the permissions separately, which obviously clutters my VCS log. Searching for the reason for this behavior I found http://mercurial.selenic.com/bts/issue1030, so I tried using the "pre-commit" hook and this seems to work great, solving the issue with the uncommited .etckeeper file. So I think it would be nice to use "pre-commit" instead of "precommit" for the etckeeper line in hgrc, at least for new installations.
