Even better, install the etckeeper package. This will store all changes
to files in etc in git repository. When you edit a file, you can either
manually commit it with a comment explaining what you have done, or if
you forget it will automatically commit them on a daily cron task. It
also detects changes made by the package manager, so its easy to find
out what happened if things go wrong.
