What I usually do - and I have seen many people do the same - is keep my configuration files with .example as their extension and ignore the ones without that extension. For example:
database.yml.example is kept in the repository but database.yml is ignored. That way, wherever you clone your repository, you can just copy database.yml.example to database.yml and override your default values. I am not sure if there is a better way to do it.
