Hmm... how about printing a message at the end of "etckeeper init" advising people to review the added file set and run "etckeeper commit" ? 1/ People explicitely installing etckeeper for quick backup would/should see the message 2/ It serves as a basic usage reminder 3/ People ignoring the message would get saved by autocommit at the end of the day -- Thierry -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
