Version control with .dwg is really a problem. I'm wondering if it is possible to use git to control the version? or just commit my changes in the file?

If this is not possible, then what is a good way of version control .dwg?

I find this: Can GIT, Mercurial, SVN, or other version control tools work well when project tree has binary files? It says svn works with cad, is it the only solution now?

Normally source control is most effective on TEXT files, I would therefore consider to use the TEXT version of DWG files: DXF.
