[arch-general] Source control on /etc

[Don deJuan]

What is considered the Arch way to have version control over the configs 
in /etc? I would like to be able to see at least a few changes back in 
my config history at the minimum.

I have seen the package etckeeper and it does not seem to really fully 
be setup to work with pacman. Both AUR packages are very outdated.

Would I just be best off just copying the ones I change and then push 
the changes to a separate dir that is under control of say git? What 
methods do you employ?

Thanks for any info or tips on this. :)
