reading planet debian, I found that Joey Hess has written a couple of git-based tools, and one of them seems to address the "how to keep my etc with git" fairly well. The readme is educational too. Thought it'd be worth mentioning them

  etckeeper
  http://kitenet.net/~joey/code/etckeeper/
  etckeeper uses metastore, which sounds useful too
  as a pre-commit-hook

  mr - for your cross-SCM projects
  http://kitenet.net/~joey/code/mr/

adding them to the git wiki too ;-) -- with a bit of luck, this will kill the next "how do I store etc with git" flamefest...

happy new year!
