I've personally considered writing an LD_PRELOAD library for apps that use sqlite just so that non-text files never touch my ~/ and I can continue version control it with git in a meaningful and useful way. I find the way most applications on GNU/Linux distributions treat ~/ as offensive.

To make git happier, maybe you could use a textconv filter to convert sqlite databases into SQL dumps, so at least diffs are meaningful.

The treatment of ~/ - AO b****y L!!!

If system config files go in etc, then personal configs should go in ~/etc or ~/.etc!

Not that mirroring the system setup in ~/ is a good idea, but it's a lot better than the current free-for-all!

Cheers,
Wol

Do you mean ~/.config? Many programs already use it.
