You may want to know that config admin has a NotCachablePersitenceManager marker interface. With this interface you are able to implement stores which control their own cache and can trigger exactly the type of external refresh you seek.
With this we have implemented a db based persistence coupled with cluster link communication to trigger cluster wide updates. Coupled with fileinstall you could also have config files stored in VCS dir which upon checkout are read simply by having a fileinstall instance pointing at said dir.
