Towards that end, (and for keeping certain sensitive things from repos...) I made this:

https://github.com/sophacles/dotfuse

It is a fuse filesystem that allows for modularization of some "single file" style dotfiles. Combined with git branche or modules (or both) it can get a lot of this (i hope). Warning though, it is still a bit of a toy, and I haven't played with it for a while, but I'm open to suggestions and pull requests!

As for dry with sourceable stuff, like bash/zsh configs, you can just keep the environment specific stuff in a separate repo, and use git modules, that is if your environ specific stuff needs to be confidential (or some of it) and kept in separate private repos.
