It is certainly possible to commit the files to monotone; it can handle
any files.

I don't understand why you think mtn would need to understand the
assemblies. What work flow would this enable?

It is certainly possible for mtn to store a text file that the CAD
system uses.

Yes, but it sounds like you need help with your desired workflow. You
may find it helpful to write some Lua or shell scripts to enforce some
higher level rules, or make things simpler.

If you can write up a simple example of how you see using a tool like
mtn, we could help.
