We are keeping stateful changes of kickstarts/snippets under SVN, but any changes made to a system (ie, profile was changed, netboot was turned on) we have very little accountability for.  That is of course if we want to keep an audit trail of /var/lib/cobbler

Perhaps the right place for this is to have a hook in cobbler sync?

We use git to keep track of (almost) all changes in cobbler:

/var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts
/var/lib/cobbler/snippets
/etc/cobbler

But you could also add /var/lib/cobbler/config of course. It's easy to
keep track of changes with a bonus that you can revert a change if
Things Go Horribly Wrong ;)

kind regards,

Léon
