I'm using svn and bzr. The conf.py file is usually on an ignore list and I provide a conf.example.py file (commented example entries) for reference. That way I have no live config data in the versioning system, and update/commit does not change the config file, so all is well (this is actually not web2py related, I use a similar setup in my other projects, too). If the config file needs to be changed on situ, I can do that via the web2py interface which is preferred to me (restarting apache being the other option if I need to change command line parameters).
