Non-software engineering has needed a git-like version control system for decades now but there are two giant hurdles:

- Designing a UI for resolving merge conflicts is non-trivial and a lot of the visual cues git diff viewers use to highlight conflicts (colors, marker text, etc.) don't translate well into a CAD viewer

- The Autodesks and Bentleys of the world work in proprietary binary files so any solution would only work for one vendor, and sometimes only one flavor of one vendor
