Yes, that's exactly what I was asking about -- thanks for the pointer, I'll look at git hooks now :)

Thanks,

I'm not clear on what you're asking.

If you have all your cookbooks and roles and whatnot stores on disk in
a traditional 'chef-repo' you are wondering if Chef could track that
git repo and import objects automatically?

If that's what you're asking, sometimes people have wanted something
where when they push their chef-repo to a central team repository,
they use git hooks there to run the proper knife commands to upload to
the server.

Otherwise, could you provide a fuller example please?
