I disagree with the change setting $HOME to ~root, and this is why: In addition to causing the problems expressed in this bug report, it is also inconsistent with the expected usage pattern where changes in /etc may be made directly using git (as root) where $HOME is not modified. That is, there are two commit cases:
- Admin makes changes in /etc and commits them using git. Here $HOME is not set to ~root. - Admin makes changes in /etc without committing them, but they are committed by etckeeper before and after a package installation run. Or, the admin commits the changes using 'etckeeper commit'. Here $HOME is set to ~root. Please reconsider this change, at least when git is used as the VCS.
