Good idea, but have a look at etckeeper. It will also automatically track any changes that the package manager makes in /etc.

For now I'll hand roll. I started with my whole /etc in git, no I tend to have mini-repos for
each bit of /etc so it's not tied to the rest of the system. Hence I can pull my apache or
exim config without the mess of the rest of /etc involved :-)
