Please note that LyX's built-in version control uses RCS when registering a new
file for version control.
At least this step has to be done with external tools. I'm using a combination
of command line and LyX.
The daily business ("check-out", "check-in", "compare" and "revert", "browsing
the logs") is possible
with LyX's built-in capabilities. Start a repository from scratch and adding
documents and "children" or images
is better done with command line tools.
Please, consult the manual! It's described in the "Additional manual" (7.2 -
AFAIK).
