You're using the wrong PM, then.  Try Gentoo's portage on for size.  By 
default it protects config dirs and you update them using a script that 
does a 3-way diff.  But you can tell it what further to protect/
unprotect, and even use VCS (svn, probaby git by now...) managed config 
setups, if you like. =:^)
