FYI: I did this some time ago on /var/named/chroot and created a
/chroot symlink for convenience. We should probably merge the two. I
also put this stuff in the excludes for that repo:
*.[oa]
*~
*.jnl
*.sw[op]
proc/*
run/*
var/run/*
log/*
slave/*
*.bkp*
*.rpmnew

Feel free to look at that repo and merge in the changes.
