09:22 < lifeless> sandsmark: could you file a bug? we should be more
graceful/informative about that particular case.
09:22 < sandsmark> lifeless: well, 1.5 is pretty old
09:22 < lifeless> even so
09:22 < sandsmark> ok
09:23 < lifeless> if its fixed already it will be easy to close ;)
09:23 < sandsmark> heh, ok :-)
09:23 < lifeless> but while I suspect we have a bug thats similar to
this already, I'm fairly sure we haven't actioned it.
09:23 < lifeless> so at worst this will be a dup and add data to the
frequency people hit it.
09:24 < sandsmark> lifeless: uhm, is this really a bug, though? I would
rather say the problem is with etckeeper, adding all files
indiscriminately
09:24 < sandsmark> (the real question is where the conflict comes from,
though)
09:25 < lifeless> bzr could help - it could say 'this is a dangerous
file to add', it could, on conflicts, not conflict on that file but
instead know it can overwrite it;it could adjust the conflict path it
uses
