I've put my home directory dot files into git, and I'm assuming it's 
going to be a similar issue for /etc.  I've found git to be unusually 
suitable for this, for the following reasons:

- git can deal with only managing a handful of files from a large 
hierarchy, without an insane performance penalty.
- git only needs one repository directory at the root of the tree, not 
in each subdirectory.

The biggest *problem* with git is that it doesn't handle files which 
need to have their permissions maintained.
