In my current scheme, I export the git repository, grab the puppet subdirectory from the export, and move it to /etc/puppet_hash. I put it there instead of /etc/puppet because I only want to update the files if there is a new commit. To check this, I need to store the hash of the HEAD of the exported code somewhere. Instead of writing that information to a separate file, I stick it into the filename of the puppet config.
