--- Begin Message ---Package: etckeeper Version: 0.48 If etckeeper is using git as its VCS, setting the GIT_DIR or GIT_WORK_TREE environment variables can lead to etckeeper using a repository other than /etc/.git or a working directory other than /etc. This should be easily fixed by sanitizing those variables before calling git. Here's an example where I set GIT_DIR to point to the nagios-plugins git repository: root@host:~/git# git clone git:// github.com/nagios-plugins/nagios-plugins.git Cloning into nagios-plugins...
