I have symlinks to all my files. I also have special hooks that I run per
os and per host to pull in different configs when needed. Though in
recent years I've not needed it much. I used to do a lot for work like
this, but these days work envs are close to my home env, so there is little
point.
I've been doing this since RCS days across 5 different SCMs... git makes
oopses so rare that the paranoia below seems overkill. Though for other
SCMs it would likely not be paranoid enough.
