We do a similar thing using Python: Pull down the config file (using
svn cat), compare it to the user's config file, and if different, prompt
to overwrite it. So we don't actually have a working copy for the
config file, but it is stored in a Subversion repository.
We do this from a script that pulls down a build, which most users run
frequently enough that I'm not too concerned that a few may have a
slightly out-of-date version.
