I'm curious if that is a very common use case among gEDA users?
I certainly spend a lot more time in the tool than the text editor.

I somewhat curious about your work flow. Do/can you branch and merge
PCB designs like source code? Are you using some external scripts to
generate features in your boards?

What about treating directories as files like the Netbeans IDE does
with its projects? Then optionally compressing them into a zip.
That would make it play nice with just about any version control
program while still allowing portable designs.
