Probably you'll want to have the .git dir outside of /etc, so
--git-dir and --work-dir are your friend (man 1 git).
An cron-script could look something like that:
#!/bin/bash
cd /var/my-etc-archive.git && \
git --work-dir=/etc add -A && \
git --work-dir=/etc commit -m "autocommit" && \
git push origin
(perhaps filter the output a bit, so you don't get unncessary
cron mails ;-))
