I also use git at work -- I have a central 'repo' on my work network share and when using my laptop or desktop, I simply pull and push from/to the central repo to keep everything in sync.
My structure is something like this: ~/org ~/org/aux ~/org/aux/emacs-config ~/org/aux/pics Then on each of my computers I do 'ln -s ~/org/aux/emacs-config ~/.emacs' When I make a change on either computer for some new option I want to use, it's updated with the next pull from the other computer. I also used to keep a ~/org/aux/elisp folder as well so that I could even sync my various additional elisp files. I discontinued this only because my org.git repo wasn't pulling/pushing since git doesn't like nested git repos. There is a way to do this, but since I hardly change my elisp folder, I decided it wasn't worth it.
