IMO you don't need a special tool to manage your home directory / dotfiles. Git is the tool. Your home directory is a repo with a .git directory like any other repo. No other tools; no symlinks; nothing else. Commit what you want and gitignore the rest. I've done this since 2008.

Never had a problem with it.
