This allows an admin to use git to keep a backup of Jenkins settings without tracking binary artifacts. Useful for preserving settings during plugin upgrades.

Note: secret.key is purposefully not tracked by git. This should be backed up separately because configs may contain secrets which were encrypted using the secret.key.

This has been working well for me. I've been using it to version control configs for different slaves

Awesome :). I also use a dailycommit.sh script in a cron job so that it regularly takes a snapshot of the commits. https://gist.github.com/samrocketman/9391439
