Re: Git: "No you can't handle my root!" (?)

I don't see the point of using git on the root directory :)

but that made me think that it could actually be a good idea for /etc/ :) I happen to modify some configuration and then I forgot which one... and sometimes updates broke something

And that make me think of another question...

is there a way to have a git repo for a subset of directory that match a pattern?

for instance...

can I have a git report of $HOME/.* (without . and ..)? (all user setting)

Or better: provide a list of directory under $HOME I want to track 

Instead of providing the list of directory I want to ignore i would like to provide the list of the directory and files I want to track :)

I probably am going out of topic here but I hope you forgive me :)
