I see. So if I want parameter file history the only proper solution is to
have a separate parameter file git repo, right?
I wouldn't say it is "the" "only" proper solution, but under your design
constraint that dictates that the part that is left in "config" (which
includes the tracked-and-tied-to-the-software-version "config.sample")
must have a history that is independent from the software history, it is
one workable solution that would be the easiest. I can imagine a more
elaborate implementation that stores the history of that config file on a
separate branch in the same repository and manipulate that file with
custom scripts, and that also would be another workable solution.
