Notes document that describes a change or enhancement of all defined services including whether it should affect production or not. 
Note that this approach really means that these are configuration changes that have an impact on production, in some cases you may have a lot of changes that don't change anything, in those cases you can create a separate branch for those items and then link them to the service definition as well.
What you probably want to do is actually have a Build service, Deployment service and Configuration service, that's really the whole point of the service definitions.
Then you can have branch/merge to these services when you need them.
I use Tortoise TFS Source Control for windows, TFS/VSTS is also good but a little less feature rich.
Today I learned the lesson of always make backups before committing.
I was working on a project with a teammate who was in the middle of writing a simple script to make some configuration changes in an XCode project and was just about to commit his changes. While he was working, a new feature landed in his branch and his script couldn’t handle that new feature. With the XCode project open on his Mac, he tried to fix the script without realizing that he should have taken the time to take a backup first.
Fortunately, he was able to fix the issue in the script by using the --base option to re-apply his last commit. He was then able to fix the issues in the newly landed feature without ruining the changes he was about to commit.
Even though he made that mistake, he learned the lesson well and now he is much more careful before committing changes.
Would you take the time to make a backup before committing?
If not, then you are making the same mistake as my colleague was.
And if you do take the time to backup, then hopefully this helps you to avoid this issue next time you are working on a project.
Happy coding.
