I am thinking on a system, where /etc were tracked on a remote git repository. I am thinking on a git workflow, where every host machine where a different branch.

Every previous versions on every machine chould be easily tracked, compared, merged.

If a /etc modification had to be committed on many machines, it could be easily done by some merging script.

In case of an "unwanted" /etc change, this could be good visible (even alarm scripts could be tuned to watch that).

Anybody used already a such configuration? Are there any security problems with it?
