At first it might seem strange to be using source control to do

This is the technique used by The Grid, the big scientific network of
hundreds of thousands of machines that was designed in part to process
data from the LHC in Geneva.
You can commit configurations of arbitrary complexity and servers then
pull the configurations and run them.
The underlying technology is Subversion.
A good introduction would be Jeff's masters thesis, which covered the
topic in depth.
