# If you want other configuration data or files on the system also
# opportunistically tracked via etckeeper, use this script to copy them in.

# If there is a hook of some sort available related to the files
# you're mirroring, (e.g. Apache restart for CSVN)
# you can call etckeeper directly and track them
# proactively, rather than just opportunistically here.
