[chef] Chef, git and user home directories

["Matthew Sims" < >]

I'm wanting to implement a way for our Chef to create the home directories
of our users.

I'm thinking of having user home directories stored in a git repo. Users
may update their own directories any time to git...adding .bashrc,
authorized_keys, or any scripts they like to have.

I was then planning on having Chef pull from git these home directories on
to all hosts during its regularly scheduled runs.

Is anyone else doing this?

Any gotchas I should look out for? Any specific cookbook you may be using?
