Version control of files that you change is always a good thing, but configuration management tools always add some bizarre abstraction layers of their own that don't seem portable or likely to handle major changes in the underlaying file structure. Are there any handy tools to just throw the files that RPM knows you've changed into subversion or a similar version control tool so there is no extra effort or abstraction to learn to be able to backtrack to find what changes were made and when? With viewvc you could do all the human interaction with a web browser with an obvious layout.
I wrote one at one point. All it really does is run an rpm -Va in python and spit back to you the list of all the files which are changed. Unfortunately it is not the quickest of processes and it won't get all the files which you've ADDED which are not in an rpm.
