We wound up writing our own tool that creates a copy of every file we want to watch in a separate location, and keeps that location under revision control. A script runs every night and emails out the diffs before auto-committing them to the local repo. I think etckeeper probably works in a similar way, and since it's a real package instead of a home-grown script, it's probably a better way to go (plus it tracks file metadata). We also have this combined with tools like AIDE that will tell us that something changed (though not what exact change was made), even if it's not specifically tracked in revision control.
