Public bug reported: Binary package hint: etckeeper
I propose changing the default backend/VCS to use back to Git (from Bazaar), for the following reasons: 1. Performance: Git is still noticeably faster than Bazaar and you do not want to spend those extra seconds on any package upgrades, just to keep a history of changes. It's not about usability (where Bazaar might be better), but about keeping history. Besides, Git is faster when investigating those changes, and "git log" has better usability than "bzr log | less". 2. this is the only change from upstream/Debian, so the package could just get synced I've initially done the change of the default and pushed the Bazaar integration (see bug 191680), but am now in favor of reverting it.
