Nice stats :)

So those are 14 things.

 - 8 of them I'd attribute to etckeeper (the .placeholder ones,
   because git never grokked empty directories)
 - 3 are just part of a directory template (skel)
 - 2 (well, it's actuall a fractal, as usual in that culture)
   are "some Java stuff"
 - 1 I don't understand (who is .pwd.lock and what is she
   doing in my /etc? [1]).
