I think you could perhaps manage versioning on a separate repository
(mercurial comes to mind) via etckeeper or icron. That way, you can track
changes
Bear in mind that those alterations come on a filesystem level, so you're
not able, say, to perform a full audit. If there are logs, it is suggested
to keep them as well
