[rancid] Rancid - Changing Config Backup Directory

[Gauthier, Chris]

We setup rancid and, more specifically Git, to automatically push the local repo commit by rancid to the remote repo.  This eliminates having to mount filesystems and gives you a nice backup.  Plus, if the remote repo has a GUI, you can have "pretty" access to your backups.

only "clone"ing in git retains your history (ie: is complete).  which is
why i suggested switching.
