Reading this, I thought "What an excellent suggestion -- I think I'll do
that". So I proceeded to execute the following series of commands:
cd /etc/shorewall
git init
rm *
Damn!
I had intended to type:
rm *~
so as not to add backup files to my shiny new Git repository.
Luckily, I had recently completed a web page that detailed my setup
(http://www.shorewall.net/4.4/MyNetwork.html) and I had a backup that
was only a month old, so 20 minutes of copy/paste restored my
configuration :-). Then:
git add *
git commit
Ah.....
