Rolf, I had this issue too. The problem is that etckeeper updates the
.etckeeper file in a pre-commit hook (this file is necessary because git
does not store the owner and permissions directly).
When you are rebasing, somehow the pre-commit hook interacts badly with
the rebase. However, its quite
How about putting .etckeeper in a separate branch, I wonder? Having
.etckeeper lumped in with other commits is often wrong and creates
problems for me when I want to cherry-pick or rebase.

Sorry for the delay in responding.
I've never understood what metadata etckeeper does indeed track that git
wouldn't. I only know that git won't track empty directories and that
can create problems. I believe the README is indeed mistaken here.
I'm not sure what to add in terms of exact steps.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
The README in etckeeper points out that etckeeper tracks file metadata
that git otherwise ignores. Could you tell us exactly how what steps
you are taking, i.e. how you are rebasing?
Could you tell us which release you are on?
