You may want to look into FSVS instead, which is a useful front-end for
that sort of thing. (http://fsvs.tigris.org - not associated with the
Subversion project)

I use FSVS on all of the servers that I manage and it lets us keep track
of all changes made to the server. Storing the results in an SVN
repository on the back end. Once you've configured everything (not too
terribly hard), keeping track of a change becomes as simple as:

fsvs ci -m "adjusted spamd watch" /usr/local/sbin

Which would pickup any files that changed in /usr/local/sbin.

If I need to track something down, I have read-only access (not a
requirement, just my preference) to the SVN repository on my laptop.
Where I can checkout, diff, view the history using TortoiseSVN.
