What does not work (and what Todd probably meant) is using svn from within

Personally I'd rather remove the existing half-baked support for vrsion
control from within LyX. There are decent version control clients for
virtually any OS out there that integrate nicely into the respective
desktops. No need to duplicate that within LyX.

I am fine using CVS|RCS from the command line, but the integration that is in
LyX I like because:
A) LyX _KNOWS_ to reload the file from the file-system instead of continuing
on with it's current buffer, instead of me having to remember to dump the
buffer and reload. [to continue on with a current buffer after a commit or
update in a concurrent development environment is just WRONG, and in a single
user environment it can get you unexpected results if you are using RCS
keywords like $Revision:$.]
what I don't like about the current integration:
B) too small an area to type in.
C) no way to put newlines in the commit message.
I don't see the current integration as half baked, as much as just barely
functional enough.
