This is my feeling about this feature as well. There are so many version control systems around and we can not possibly support all of them. Using an external program is also more flexible. If people do feel a need for such a feature, maybe lyx can handle it like converters. I mean, we define a few configurable actions like check in and check out and users can provide commands to actually perform the action. Note I have never studied that part of the code, maybe it is already done in this way. Bo
