I read the whole thread and http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/8440 looks interesting. After deciding to use LyX as the tool for writing manual for software application which will be kept under DVCS (not git, but most probably Fossil), I just wonder what are your experiences with different diff tools? In one blog post, I saw that Emacs' ediff was much better thant e.g KDiff, Vim's diff... (http://rvb.mytanet.de/comparing-latex-files-with-latexdiff.shtml) but considering that so far I only keep my own docs under DVCS, I'm interested what one can expect when diff-ing LyX documents in order to try to provide merge of changes? I also wonder whether XML-based format would be better than the present one in such scenario?
