I would like to contribute etckeeper.

etckeeper-1.18.17-1.hint:
category: Utils
requires: bash coreutils grep sed
sdesc: "Store /etc in git or mercurial"
ldesc: "Etckeeper is a tool to let /etc be stored in git or
mercurial. It hooks into Cygwin Setup to automatically commit changes
made to /etc during package upgrades. It tracks file metadata
(permissions, owner, group) that version control systems do not
normally support."
Package for review:
wget -r -nH --cut-dirs=2 \

Tested with git. Only a few tests were done with hg.
Baazar is not fully supported yet as the pre-commit hook Python module
is not included. The "bzr" command now fails on Cygwin as it still
requires python2.7. Debian/Ubuntu moved to brz (breeze).
The current Cygwin Setup cannot automatically run the hook for
'etckeeper pre-install'. A related patch is here:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/cygwin-apps/2022-June/042076.html
As a workaround for now, 'etckeeper pre-install' could be run manually
before starting setup. If not run, the 'etckeeper post-install' hook
then also commits any pending changes done before setup, the "Package
changes:" list in the log message is always empty and "Packages with
configuration changes:" will not appear. The remaining functionality is
not affected.
