Telling a minion who it's master is

[oliver-dungey]

I am using vagrant to setup my master and minions which uses salty-vagrant under the covers, its fantastic, thanks ... but I have a feature request:

I currently use the fields minion_id, minion_key, minion_pub and minion_config. This is a great system as it preseed's keys and pushes over a config file to new minions. What I would like to do is specify the master that the minion should use rather than giving it a config file. Why? I don't like having a minion config file in GIT as the settings are ever changing, I would like to stick with the standard config.

Look at the salt boot strap options. I believe you can do a -A to specify
the master
