So if we do end up doing a "tracked config file", I'd personally very much 
prefer it be limited in some way. For example, we obviously track the 
.gitignore and .gitattributes files, but they are much more limited in 
their effects. Maybe we could have a "limited config file" that allows for 
*some* config options to be set?

Yes, that's all what I have been trying to say ;-)
