Comment 16 for bug 574244

The etckeeper post-install command that fails is run at the very end of the apt run (here, at the very end of the update) so that should not leave things in a broken state. It just fails to commit the /etc changes in the etckeeper bzr repository. As the previous commenter said, doing "sudo etckeeper commit 'I just upgraded'" should be enough. Subsequent updates should be just alright.
