As said, I think it's unfortunate to use ct in half of the docs and ommit it in the other half.

The use of ct was intended to make it intelligible to translators and maintainers what had been changed, since `svn diff' is useless for this. (Of course, if we had the LyXdiff thing....) But I have seen the problem Enrico is pointing out.

Here's another suggestion: ct should always be used when editing docs, but then anyone who edits the file again should accept all changes before doing anything else. This leaves an intelligible trail for translators and maintainers, who can update from svn one revision at a time (svn log...) and see what was changed.
