Yes we use gschem as is. Graphical diffs (and well written commit
mesages) are usually enough - we have rarely needed look closely at
the diff of the sch. We did have a really messy merge once.
Plus we use multipage and hierarchical schematics to separate out
logical entities for the most part, so that helps a lot too. IMO these
would give a cleaner approach than having to text-diff the sch file at
all...
