OK, I thought about that also.
For example to write a script, which would copy the
configuration file to my working copy at the time my PC starts up.

Hmm, that would imply going to this configuration directory each
time I want to commit, right? What I am searching for is a solution
where I commit one single time in the working copy of my project and
do not care about the rest.

That's interesting. Do you know anything about this script?
