There are a few reasons. One is that it's not uncommon for files like /etc/resolv.conf to change automatically, and easy to forget to add those files to .gitignore (or not want to), so hourly autocommits would be a lot more commits to wade through in the log. Another reason is that the daily cron job tends to run when the system is quiesent, so the admin is probably not in the middle of configuring something in /etc. It could be unexpected for /etc to commit itself if you're preparing a change and actively using etckeeper at the time. -- see shy jo
