And I cannot blame etckeeper. Using binary format for storing metadata, i.e. owner, group, perms, xattrs, mtime, makes it too opaque for many use cases, especially in VCS.
metastore v1.1.0, as you can already read, was meant to give metastore (from 2008) a proper release, with fixed bugs and small improvements only. There are plans to make metastore more useful in the future, though.

In less than half a year it was replaced with find scripts.
