How to check what files have been customised in /etc?

I try as far as possible to keep my system 'standard' with as much as
possible of the custmisation being in /home where I use mercurial to
keep track of changes (and which is preserved when OS is upgraded).
However there are inevitably a few global customisations in /etc and
I'd like to track them as well if possible. I can configure ways to
track them now but can anyone suggest a way to find all the changes I
have done over the years in /etc? I don't think there are all that
many of them but I know there are some and there are likely to be some
I can't remember how I did.
A typical example is that I have changed /etc/systemd/system/anacron.timer
to change the times when anacron does its checks. I wanted to change
this recently and it took me ages to find out what to change. I want
to find and start tracking changes like this.
