In my lab we're using git to track schematics, netlists and PCBs.
So far things are going well, although there are only 2-3
collaborators at most per project.
+1 for external VCS.
Diffs of gschem sch files are not very easy to read, but if (as John
Griessen suggests) the schematic is sorted it would be better.
Same for netlists.
However, IMO if the commits are well commented the diffs are easy
enough to understand. For schematics, schdiff is good* 99% of the
time. The only place it fails is a messy merge or rebase.

(* I did a little patching to improve schdiff - its on an older thread
on geda-user)
