Dear all, I have decided to take the plunge and start to use a revision control system for all or almost all my projects from here on. However, I have no experience with any of the many options available (i.e. RCS, SVN, Git?, etc.). In other words, I must learn how to use the system *and* learn how to use it from within LyX: I am a totally blank slate, in other words, unhampered by previous knowledge. I wonder if anyone could offer feedback on the systems they use?
I will use it only for LyX (and LaTeX), for individual or very small-team projects (<5 people). My preferences are the ease to integration with Lyx and easy repository maintenance (the criteria may be contradictory, of course). I took a look at the wiki pages and the instructions on the help docs, but neither was very helpful at my stage (of ignorance). They all assume you have already decided which system to use, and provide instructions on how to use them from LyX. On the other hand, all the non-LyX sources of information I found are targeted at coders, typically working in large teams, with elaborate technical discussions of several complex use cases that seem not applicable for document-based repositories with individual- or small team access. I may be wrong, of course. Any suggestions is very welcome. Cheers, Stefano
