The hack-around in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bzr/+bug/1035045/comments/3 "worked" for me with `etckeeper` + BZR on Mint-18, in that it stopped the error messages. I don't actually know or care what omitting the affected snap files in `/etc/` might do later.

Note I needed 2 lines in `/etc/.bzrignore` and was confused when the first line failed to work. And you probably also need to:
```
# Be root
cd /etc
sudo vi .bzrignore
 systemd/system/snap*
 systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/snap*
bzr rm --keep systemd/system/snap* systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/snap*
etckeeper commit 'Ugly hack-around for bzr/etckeeper errors for snapd use of backslash in file names'
