Public bug reported: In the past a patch was submitted to have the unprivileged user calling 'sudo etckeeper' being reported as the commit author instead of root. This involved using SUDO_USER instead of USER when calling the undelying VCS command. This appear to be implemented only for 'etckeeper commit'. My workflow more frequently involves calling 'etckeeper vcs add/commit' to separate logically different changes and for documentation purpose. I can try to propose a patch for this but hints are welcome to focus on the right place to implement such a change. Reporting here because I use etckeeper (0.52) with Ubuntu server (11.04) but looking at upstream code, no related changes result in the repo.
