the filebucket would store the replaced files in a git repo on the
local host, using rubygem-git and commit at the end of a puppet run, a
file would be placed into $GITROOT/$FULLPATH of original file. no
symlinks.
filebucket { main: path => git://$gitpath }
A centralized git server I suppose is nice, keep a branch per server
(all lost on server renames). Would the best way be keep a git clone -
l per server, then pull, add the file, then push back to the branch ?
sounds like a bottle neck. if there is interest I would prefer to keep
it as a stage 2.
The history/diffs would be something a person would run on the git
repo themselves, I don't have good ideas of integrating that part into
puppet or it's usability. it's so much easier to use git to find the
rev you want and you would need to add the file back to puppetmaster
manually as the restored file would have been a puppet template or a
file resource (tidy aside)
did you expect more or have a more thought out idea?
