I believe some of the settings are currently saved in the project file. Would that be a better place to store them or would they create the same version control problem as saving them in the schematic file? Maybe a separate last state file for this kind of information may be the way to go. That way you just ignore the file when using version control. I probably would make it project wide so we don't need to keep a last state file for every Kicad application.
