There seems to be a misunderstanding about git: If the repository is on
/, it doesn't mean all files are tracked. On the contrary, they are
handpicked with "git add". On the other hand, if I put the repository
under /etc, I'm not so sure I'll be able to track something under, say,
/var. File ownership is an interesting issue. I suppose all relevant files belong to root, but maybe some of them have some different group setting.

One thing git does not track though, is file ownership. This might be a problem for some files. -- Web: http://www.billauer.co.il |
