I keep config in git so that when I screw up, I can figure out how. What else would I be doing? Merging conflicts with my dev team?

Right. Which is exactly why I want installing a new service, upgrading a library etc. to be in git rather than just backing up what's on disk. A problem like not being able to connect to MySQL because you've upgraded the zoneinfo database, or the system root certificates, is a nightmare to diagnose otherwise.
