Package: etckeeper
Version: 0.10
Severity: important
Hello,
when installing a new package etckeeper commit modified files, even if
you specified not to commit them before installing the new package.
Step to reproduce :
1. change some files in /etc
2. `apt-get install` a new package
3. etckeeper ask you if you want to commit modified files (which are
uncommited at this step), and you say no (you _don't_ want to commit
them, yet)
4. apt-get install the new package
5. it then commit every files in /etc, even files you didn't want to
commit two step before
I guess the behavior of etckeeper is to commit every files after a
package installation. However, it would be very cool if it can filter
out the files which are already in the Git repository, but which are not
staged for commiting (I mean, files from step 3.)
Thanks,
- Jonathan
