Package: etckeeper Version: 0.30 Severity: wishlist With the new Darcs support, I'd like to start using it for /etc[0].
In order to do so, I need to convert the existing history from git to darcs format. I know how to do this for normal (code) repositories using e.g. fast-export or tailor. However, etckeeper has some metadata files that I don't know much about. It would be good if Debian.README had a couple of paragraphs explaining what (if anything) is necessary to preserve history when converting an etckeeper repository to a different backend.
