I was actually talking about /etc configuration files that really are
local, and not part of any php project.

In php projects, we normally create config.php-dist as a prototype
without any passwords or keys, and include that in the repository.
Then we save it as config.php locally. The config.php never gets
checked into the repository as it is unique to each installation.

I'm sure there are slicker ways to handle that, but it's always worked
just fine.
