Hi there, I'm not sure if this post will be very welcome, but I'd like your feedback or suggestions. I've been reading Jon Loeliger's book about git and I've understood many many things. I'm interested in using git as a backup and sync system between computers. The one thing I'm missing is files metadata. I thought the simplest approach would be to create a "hidden" file containing the output from stat (or something similar but more helpful). Then hash that "hidden" file as well or even make it part of the real file (ie first line of every file are their metadata)... I think I should look into some hooks, but I'd need some guidance to get started... help appreciated!
