git is not the problem your pattern is. isolate your configuration into as few files as possible.
commit a template for that file(s). (so that new devs can copy it into place and edit it once) then add the real file to the .gitignore so that it isn't tracked. Now if you want to get fancy use your deployment tool to upload the correct template or build it on the fly for each system you expect to deploy to.
