Uh, works just fine for me to manage my web site content.  The point is
that I treat git for what it is... a source code management system.
And then I have a Makefile that "installs" my source code into the live
directory, with the right modes during installation.

Why does everyone keep wanting "work dir == live dir".  Ugh!  The work dir is
the *source*... it gets *copied* into your live dir *somehow*.  And *that* is
where the meta information needs to be.  In that "somehow".

Interesting. Could you show us what this makefile actually looks ?

How would you create a repo to track /etc ? I'm thinking of importing
this directory by using tar, do you think it's correct ?

thanks.
