Hello. I've just asked a question on stackoverflow about the safe way to do checkouts:

https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/279328/etckeeper-check-out-in-a-safe-way

Would this suffice? I mean, would this prevent exposing sensitive data in /etc?

umask 077  
git checkout april_first_joke_etc  
etckeeper init  
umask 022     # or whatever it was before, or just quit current session
