What about permissions and ownership? These are pretty important for
/etc.
What about those ? Git doesn't care about permissions, the only
permissions that git stores is the executable bit.
But that's problematic for files in /etc, many of which require specific
ownership or mode bits set/unset. You don't want your VCS to elide the
fact that /etc/shadow should only be readable by root, for instance.
I don't think Git will change permissions on existing files in your
working directory, but if you ever cloned your /etc repo onto another
machine, the permissions would be screwed up.

Have you had any issues?
The AUR packages for that are way out of date and probably abandoned by
the owners. From what I read it starting giving people issues when
pacman 3 came out and now that we are on 4 with even more features I
would think a bunch of work would have to be done to make work properly
for Arch.
