AIUI etckeeper it adds its own database, for git/bzr/hg/etc/etc for
permissions. This is entirely appropriate.
what would be good would be providing enough hooks that 'bzr st' and
other commands can show/understand changes against that permissions
database so that you can just use 'bzr commit' to do this.
You would definitely need changes to the core to do this, but they would
be cosmetic changes rather than structural - you don't need a new data
store for instance, as this would be layering on top.
