I wish there was a way to see what the default values in a config file are for a given distro.
I'm guessing there probably is, and I just don't know it.

Maybe I should just make / a git repo...

Don't modify the config in /etc/, copy them in ~/.config/ and then modify them. You'll always be able to just look at the /etc/ for defaults.

Without knowing a better way, my go-to solution woukd just be getting an full installation image and diffing my files with the files on it

Usually if its a boolean or nullable, a good config file will have a # uncommemt this line to enable this feature/disable this feature/bind to this IP address/give this thing a name that is at least vaugely hints what the option does. But yes, its still fairly annoying.

You should check out the Fedora atomic distros if you haven't already. Making the system work more like a git repo is what they are doing with rpm-ostree. I am liking it a lot.
