I version control the entire directory (ignoring the known_hosts file) somewhere like ~/config/ssh and symlink it to ~/.ssh. It contains a Makefile with a target that runs this command:

    ln -s ${PWD} ~/.ssh
Just make sure the directory is chmod 700 and the important files in it are chmod 600.

Also ignore any private keys. For security, but also each host should have a different key so you can burn one without burning them all.
