It hooks into Cygwin Setup to automatically commit changes made to /etc during package upgrades. It tracks file metadata (permissions, owner, group) that version control systems do not normally support. Bazaar is not fully supported, the pre-commit hook Python module is not included. Please note that Cygwin Setup <= 2.919 cannot automatically run the hook for 'etckeeper pre-install'. The next release will include this functionality. As a workaround, 'etckeeper pre-install' could be run manually before starting setup. If 'etckeeper pre-install' is not run, the 'etckeeper post-install' hook then also commits any pending changes done before setup, the "Package changes:" list in the log message is always empty and the "Packages with configuration changes:" list does not appear. The remaining functionality is not affected. Please note that, unlike some Linux etckeeper packages, the postinstall script of this package does not perform the initialization of /etc/.git. Run 'etckeeper init && etckeeper commit' manually under the same user which is effective during setup. Christian Franke
