  Description     : Back up LDAP database in an Git repository

ldap-git-backup (creates and) updates a Git repository which contains
the current LDIF dump of an LDAP directory.  Given that writes are rare
in an LDAP directory and confined to a few entries for each write Git
will store the entire history of an LDAP directory in a space efficient
way.

By default the backups are done with slapcat from OpenLDAP but can be
done with any command that dumps the current contents of an LDAP
directory in LDIF format.
