+Subject: [PATCH] deploy: Ignore sockets, fifos in /etc during merge
+
+https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1945274 is an issue where a privileged
+kubernetes daemonset is writing a socket into `/etc`.  This makes ostree upgrades barf.
+
+Now, they should clearly move it to `/run`.  However, one option is for us to
+just ignore it instead of erroring out.  Some brief investigation shows that
+e.g. `git add somesocket` is a silent no-op, which is an argument in favor of ignoring it.
+
