You could use a precommit hook to copy the config file to a different  
name (that includes the repository name, for example) and have that  
copy versioned. That would give you a trace of changes to the config  
file, but if you go back to a specific version, you'd have to copy  
the config manually to its standard name, as there seem to be no  
update hook.
