Not very clever or rare, but extremely useful. On my persistent Unix/Linux boxes, I "git branch /etc" as soon as it comes up. Then all of my admin config gets committed whenever it's changed.
Have you tried etckeeper? I haven't, but it's supposed to be an improvement over just using git in this usecase.
