There is a new SCM Sync Configuration plug-in which does exactly what you are looking for.

SCM Sync Configuration Hudson plugin is aimed at 2 main features :

• Keep sync'ed your config.xml (and other ressources) hudson files with a SCM repository
• Track changes (and author) made on every file with commit messages

I haven't actually tried this yet, but it looks promising.
