Hello,
Following a recent discussion about version control and Git, I am
trying to install such a system on my Windows XP laptop. I have the
last stable version of LyX and the last version of Git pulled from the
following address : http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/
I have installed the file called Git-1.6.2-preview20090308.exe in a
folder called c:\tools\git.
I have included c:\tools\git\cmd and c:\tools\git\bin in my global
path, I have restarted my laptop and done a reconfigure in Lyx.
Restarted LyX again and if I try to register an open file, LyX
complains by telling that "some problem has met while running the
following command: ci -q -i -t -'(no initial initial description)"
"myfile.lyx"
(I have accepted the default description given in the previous command).
Now, I am not very used to VC but I have the impression that this is
rather a RCS command, instead of a git command, no?
I can I make LyX recognise and use Git?
I THINK you have to do the initial registration of your working
directory in git from outside LyX, and then LyX will automatically
recognize this fact afterwards. LyX will do the RCS registration for you
(which is what it's trying to do, as you suspected), but not any other
system.
