Interesting discussion! In my case, my $HOME is a git repo. I use a
.gitignore whitelisting-based approach (see README below) to avoid being
distracted whenever I add or update non-dotfiles or dotfiles I'm not
interested in tracking. The master branch contains non-sensitive data (what
you see on GitHub), and like Trevor and others I have private branches that
are exclusively synced to a private repo over SSH.
