Cisco configuration files don't play nice with version control either. Anyone (with access) can log into any Cisco router, make changes and forget to write the running config to the startup config. Even if they do that, they might forget to copy the new startup config to the TFTP server. And even if they do THAT, they might not even bother doing the "svn commit" or "git commit" or "whatevervcweareusing commit". I view the sqlite database as the running configuration of Mongrel2. And from where I sit, it seems vastly simpler to do a diff of a configuration file stored in sqlite than it is to do a diff of a configuration from a Cisco router.
