Hi! I also thinking about using git as backup tool :) And also would like to find out if someone used them in production

Hi all! Long live the gentoo masters! I'd like to hear from anybody who uses (or tried) git on production servers for saving the points of possible restore. Please, share your practices, like commit patterns, .gitignore contents, etc. I've begun to use it a couple of days ago for that, and pointed out some issues. I control the whole root fs with git. The problematic part is bunch of files that update frequently, but i am not familiar with them and i'm not sure if system will load without them. Namely, these are files in /usr/lib64/portage/pym/ Also wtmp, utmp files hurt - likely without them box won't boot, but they shouldn't be in git control, too, coz they update often. Thus, backup restoring requires not git repo only, but also some tar of base?
