A technique I use, having picked it up from Jacob Kaplan Moss, IIRC, is
to keep settings.py under source control but have it include as its last
statement

from local_settings import *

The local_settings.py file is then maintained outside source control on
each target platform. This works very nicely, and allows you to maintain
common settings without having to edit a file that's under code control
to vary settings between platforms.
