The hard part of versioning /etc is interfacing cleanly with the package 
manager.  You need the package manager to update the vendor branch, and 
then do an appropriate merge with the active branch.

It shouldn't be hard to do, but the package manager has to be involved.
Maybe we should start logging bugs against package managers.

Of course if you exclusively hand-edit your /etc it's another story.
