I have /etc/zsh/zshrc conditionally backed up and restored on Linux, but not on macOS.
Running a backup on macOS attempts to delete the files from git:

Your branch is up to date with 'origin/main'.
Changes not staged for commit:
(use "git add/rm <file>..." to update what will be committed)
(use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
modified: .config/git/config
modified: .config/nvim/lazyvim.json
deleted: .config/rofi/scripts/rofi-insect
modified: .config/shallow-backup.json
modified: .config/zsh/.zshenv
deleted: :etc/zsh/zshenv
deleted: :etc/zsh/zshrc
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
Maybe check if shallow-backup has staged a change to delete an abs path file that still exists in the shallow-backup config, and if yes, drop the deletion change?
Making the first step of the backup process deleting the contents of the current backup (for a clean staging area, to make files that were untracked from the config actually get deleted) was maybe a suboptimal design choice. Shallow-backup could probably instead not reap the directory, and at the end, walk you through all the untracked files and prompt you for what to do (keep / delete).
