Not user's home directories, but everything else; and no version control meta-data cruft left lying around inside my image.
The base "image" is kept offline. I want to version control changes to every file and directory in that offline image. Ascii files need explicit diffs, binary files can just be flagged as changed. I need to be able to view which files changed at any check-in point, what files are different now from the last check-in, how the ASCII files changed between any two versions, and roll-back the entire image to any previous version. Mostly, I need the diff repository to be outside the image; I don't want hidden version control directories in every directory of my file system... I need the version control meta-data kept elsewhere (this image gets provisioned onto systems). Will Arch do this? If not, can anybody recommend a good version control utility (or maybe one that is extensible) for this? Note that I use "image" to mean "root file system", and not a disk image per se; something you could chroot to.
