Perfect!  Most of these may include sensitive information.  Some are, in 
my opinion, stupidly restricted, e.g.:

But we're not going to change the world in a day.  Assuming fsvs 
attracts enough users, those users could lobby package maintainers to 
relax where apropriate.  In the meantime, we just need the best 
possible coping mechanism(s).

So how best to cope?  These points assume that fsvs is being used for at 
least /etc:

1) Allow "include", "ignore" or "gpg commit-pipe" as the action to take
   for files that are not world readable.  I think a default of
   "gpg commit-pipe" would be more useful to more people for /etc.

2) Either way, provide useful diagnostic output that indicates what's
   going on.

3) This tilts me toward "/etc versioning as a separate fsvs-config"
   package.  Otherwise, you end up with a conditional or extraneous
   dependency on gnupg that some users won't want.
