There are a couple of problems with this change: - It makes it seem more important that files in /etc be committed than it really is. The worst that can result from them not being committed is them being committed with unrelated changes later. That's why I used the "it's best.." wording. - It's not accurate to say that the git-status output shows files that may be added. It might show such files, it might show files that will be removed, or renamed, or whatever. etckeeper will only handle adding new files and committing changed files, which is why I was careful to say just that. > -_Description: git commit failed > - etckeeper failed to commit changes in /etc using git. > - You may want to resolve the uncommitted changes by hand before continuing. > +_Description: Commit failed > + An attempt to commit /etc changes to git failed. > + . > + You should manually resolve the issues with the uncommitted changes > + before continuing. Again since at worst a commit failure can only lead to some more changes stacking up with the current uncommitted ones, resolving it is a "may", and not a "should". > -Description: store /etc in git > +Description: tool to keep /etc changes in git I am fond of my nice simple "store /etc in git", and I don't feel that it's a sentence fragement of the sort that it makes sense to reword. My description is not saying "[implicit package name here] storeS /etc in git". It's saying that if you want to store /etc in git, you've found the right package to do that. > + The etckeeper program is a collection of tools to let /etc be stored in a > git Is it a program, or is it a collection of tools? Anyway, there's only one /usr/bin program involved, so "collection of tools" is wrong. -- see shy jo
