Claws-mail's config files are stored in ~/.claws-mail, in various INI-style [item]rc files. The most important of those are clawsrc and accountrc. If you use its addressbook that's in XML files in ~/.claws-mail/addrbook.
How simple that would be to put into version control and whether or not it would be worth the effort is entirely up to you.
@ND3JR Thanks for the info. It's good to know, though I'll probably switch to either mutt or alpine so that I have one less gui app to depend on.
