If you're not using something like cvs, I think you're nuts.

Notably, with nagios 2.x, it caches settings, so this problem stops
happening (thus I assume you're using 1.x).  Still, CVS is a good thing.

or subversion if you need more features for "real" source control or RCS
if you're masochistic.
