I like the idea of using Git. Because a new configuration file
with new values would simply get merged with Git, who is quite
smart about doing such merges. Only in complicated merge
conflicts, we'd have to manually solve the issue. For such merge
problems, it'd be great to simply pop a text editor so the user
can decide how to solve the merge conflict.
