Description

Rudder commits on every group update, even if there was actually no real change.
This pollutes the git history by adding empty commits.

Example:

rootserver:/var/rudder/configuration-repository # git log -v -p | head -n18

Well, I'm not sure how git do that. You're totally right (and if I remember correctly the developper will, he thought that git wasn't doing empty commit).

So, the good new is that we do take care of that case in the code: if(autoExportOnModify && optDiff.isDefined && !nodeGroup.isSystem) { //only persists if modification are present

The bad news is that I will need some more time to reproduce (I mean, reproduce it in a controled envirenment) and understand that one.

Janos, did you have message like that:

Auto-archive git failure: not found in git added files: 'path/to/the/group/xml/file'. You can safelly ignore that warning if the file was already existing in Git and was not modified by that archive.

in /var/log/rudder/webapp/* for date corresponding for when the empty commit where created?
