The problem with having a whole configuration file in the repo is that the file probably contains many other settings besides the ones we need, and it changes with each MySQL version. When we use command line parameters, we don't have to change any MySQL config files, we just add the three or four settings that we need, and they don't change between MySQL versions.
Maybe there is a way to tell MySQL, "here's an addtional config file whose settings should override the ones in the main config file". Then we could check in a minimal config file with just our settings. But taking a large config file from a MySQL installation, changing a few lines and then putting the modified version into the repo leads to more problems than it solves. We have the same problem with MediaWiki: we once took LocalSettings.php and ApiParse.php from a MediaWiki installation, modified a few lines and put the whole files into our repo. But in newer versions, the files look quite different, and the versions from our repo just don't work. Users have to edit the files and add the stuff needed for the abstract extractor.
