Description

When we do an archive of Rudder, it first do a commit of /var/rudder/configuration-repository (even for untracked files)
This is really weird and surprising as:
  • if there are unstaged changes in the Techniques folders, they are commited, and then taken into account in Rudder, so archivin CHANGES the behaviour of Rudder
  • it causes the Archive to not match what the Rudder server was doing at the time of the Archiving (techniques can be widely different)
  • it is simply strange to have commits for that

Not that shared-files should probably be added and commited, as they don't need to be in the git tree to be used by nodes (or maybe we should simply include them in the archive, without commit, but it raises the question of the expected behaviour of "restore from latest commit")
