Conditions I had in mind were:
a)
- small team working on e.g. scientific paper
- avoid endless email exchanges of manuscript (locking exists by definition)
- only subset of people are "IT-aware" while the others are capable at
most of "push the red button" to commit the change and unlock the
given chapter.
b)
- private document where VCS is used just to store history ("just for sure")
In such world even knowing what "merging" or "branching" means qualifies
you as someone who really does not need LyX to manipulate version tracking
and who will stay happily with specialized software or command line :)
