Title:
  Integrated permissions/ownership diff output for etckeeper/bzr

Status in Bazaar Version Control System:
  Confirmed
Status in “bzr” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “etckeeper” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: etckeeper

  Since the VCS doesn't handle full permissions/ownership information,
  etckeeper keeps track of the differences in permissions/ownership in a
  .etckeeper file.

  To make etckeeper more user-friendly, it would be nice to integrate
  the ownership/permissions changes into the diff output at each file
  level (instead than showing the .etckeeper text diff at the end).

  This can be done at the bzr etckeeper plugin level, by making bzr
  aware of the changes present in .etckeeper and produce an integrated
  output.
