Many are using git and github for their dotfiles. See
https://github.com/technicalpickles/homesick for an interesting tool to
make it easier and
http://rocu.de/manage-and-share-your-dotfiles-with-homesick/ for an
example setup, or
http://blog.smalleycreative.com/tutorials/using-git-and-github-to-manage-your-dotfiles/
for what seems to be something similar, just home-made.

I haven't used them yet, but are planning to do so.

Cheers,

Rainer
