I want to keep track of my changings in configfiles
like "/etc/ssh/sshd_config" or "~/.tmux.conf" and so

Normally I create "/root/RCS" and "~/RCS".
Then in every directory with configfiles that I want to change I
create a symlink ./RCS -> /root/RCS (in the example of sshd_config I
will create /etc/ssh/RCS as symlink to /root/RCS. So when I check in
sshd_config the revision file goes to /root/RCS
When I setup a new machine I can look in the older host's /root/RCS and
it shows me which files I have to edit (or better: which files I edited
on that host).

I am sure that every admin has its own way to do that. But I know
that it is always a good idea to listen carefully to more experienced
people.
That´s why I am asking.
