This is nothing new though. Long before Git existed, before people
started using terms like DevOps, it was fairly typical for sysadmins
(that's what we called ourselves back then) to track the entirety of
/etc in RCS. Yes having an auditable change history for your
configuration is useful, but Git didn't invent that. Git has merely
supplanted all prior version control systems, for this use case as
well as others.
