Configurations vs Versions

Is the software world, version control is used for both tracking versions (incremental changes) and variants (same guts, different details. ie configurations). I can't find the original thread here but I remember someone mentioning using the version control to track configurations and a response from someone at Onshape that the version control was not intended for configuration management in a way that suggested some existing plans for configuration management in Onshape.
I'm now creating models in onshape that would benefit from configurations. I'd love to have the thoughts of the Onshape guys on this topic to think on as I'm doing this boring, repetitive work....

Especially regarding configs integrating with parametrics/expressions.
Dries
1. Model the base part on the Main branch
2. Make a branch for every configuration and make configuration-specific changes on that branch.
3. Every time you want to change all configurations, make a change to the Main branch and merge the change into the configuration branches.
I'd be curious to know how well this works
