I added a note about this into our manual for LyX 2.4.

Indeed I see your problem and we need to either update the code or guidelines.
Essentially the problem is that "git init" is not enough for LyX to recognize
that the directory is under git control.
Once the first file is added via "git add" the recognition (of not just the file
but the whole dir) works and register command will proceed.
I'll try to look on that once I have some free time.
At the moment your workaround is to start new git repo via init + add file
on the commandline (or via some git frontend).

The crash should not happen in any circumstance. Alas, I am not able to 
reproduce the crash here.
If you can reproduce the crash please post exact steps how to reproduce, I will 
have a look.

I followed the guidelines in section 7.2.6 in the "Additional Features"
LyX manual, but once the git repo is created for the document, and I try
to `register` my document with LyX GUI I get the following error:


I've been using git for years to track lyx document changes, but I never
used any integration.

In the document directory when I first save it, from the shell I run the
command `git init`. Then the sequence `git add *`, `git status`, `git commit

Works flawlessly.

LyX and Git for version control

[Madame Michu]

Hello there,

I’m facing an issue with git and LyX for version control.


I followed the guidelines in section 7.2.6 in the "Additional Features" 
LyX manual, but once the git repo is created for the document, and I try 
to `register` my document with LyX GUI I get the following error:


```

Some problem occurred while running the command:
'ci -q -u -i -t-"First draft " "grand_écrit.lyx"'.
```
And then a `Lyx crashed error message` saying:
```
SIGSEGV signal caught!
Sorry, you have found a bug in LyX, hope you have not lost any data.
Please read the bug-reporting instructions in 'Help->Introduction' and 
send us a bug report, if necessary. Thanks!

Bye

It seems like LyX doesn’t detect the git repo as it is supposed to based 
on the documentation. I don’t know how to fix this.


I’m running Ubuntu 22.04, and downloaded LyX through the official Ubuntu 
repo. Here is the details of LyX:

```

I doubt it's related to the tmp directory.

When you check out the file is should be read-write, once you check-in it 
should-be read-only.
If this attribute is not set properly, RCS will fail.

So my first guess is that while Nextcloud transfers the content of the file it 
does not properly transfer read-write attributtes of the file.
Can you check it?

RCS does not work on two different computers AFAIK.

version control with RCS with LyX 2.3.3 on a mac with nextcloud-folders

[Robert Neumann]

Hello,
I am using Lyx 2.3.3 on a Mac with OS 10.13 and a Nextcloud-folder
I installed RCS, and as long as I use it, the version controll works fine. As 
soon as I acces the file from another Computer it does not work properly 
anymore. I get this message:

Bei der Ausführung des Befehls /while executing
'co -p1.1 "Rundbrief_3_2021.lyx" > 
"/var/folders/fk/c_b11rp52kzddr83ky_w8d7mgn/T/lyx_tmpdir.jTeYDZU10377/lyxvcrev_1.1_.V10377"'
 ist ein Fehler aufgetreten.  / there was an error

and when I try to check in the changes:

Bei der Ausführung des Befehls / while executing
'ci -q -u -m"(keine Protokollmeldung)“ „test.lyx"' ist ein Fehler aufgetreten. 
/ there was an error

So this seems to my, that the version control accesses some tmp-file which – of 
course – is not available on the other computer. I am not sure, if it might be 
a good idea, to change the tmp-path to the nextcloud. Especially since the 
local paths are different.

TFM isn’t helpful. It does not tell how to get started. Plus, TFM assumes more 
knowledge of version control systems than most LyX users have. I don’t want to 
install rcs as long as svn is supposed to work.

Thanks, but still not working.

I create a new repository on my computer, then import or add a LyX document. 
The new doc appears as expected in the repository. I checkout the file into a 
working copy and edit with LyX, then commit the changes, make comparisons, etc. 
with my SVN client. In other words, I believe that I can manage things with my 
SVN client as expected. 

However, I cannot get the built-in LyX functionality to work. When the working 
copy of the LyX file is open, none of the expected File -> Version Control -> 
menu items appear, only Register…. Also, most of the icons in the Version 
Control Toolbar become active—only Register and Insert Version Info do 
anything, the latter inserting “No version control.”

The working copy that I checked out is apparently known as related to SVN 
because it has the .svn directory. Also (this is an update from my original 
post) when attempting the Regiser… action, I get a message

 Some problem occurred while running the command:
'svn add -q "Learning SVN in LyX.lyx”'.

So LyX recognizes somehow the presence of SVN but is trying to perform an add 
operation on a file that is already in the repository.

Clearly I am missing a basic step.

Ok, it would be better if I verify my statements sometimes.

I’ve checked it myself now and it works for me. See the log below:

Conclusion:

1. The working environment is LyX-2.3.6.2 and svn binary in path (verify it in 
terminal).
2. You may check and possibly update your LyX app.
3. You may activate the status message pane and redo the register VC command.

Need a little help with version control

[list_email]

I’m trying to learn version control (SVN) with LyX on macOS. I have a little 
past experience with SVn in another context and I’m in Chapter 2 of the book at 
svnbook.red-bean.com as a refresher. I am the only person who will access the 
repository which is on my own computer.

I have set up new repository and imported three files, a LyX document and two 
graphics files. (I am using a nice GUI app on the Mac). I can check out the LyX 
document, edit it, and commit. But what I can’t figure out is what is the LyX 
File -> Version Control -> Register item for? I think it wants to add the 
current LyX file, which is assumed to be not under version control, to the 
repository. But _what_ repository? I made a second LyX file named 
Registering.lyx and typed “Registering a document” into the dialog box. Then I 
get this message:

 Some problem occurred while running the command:
'ci -q -u -i -t-"Registering a document" "Registering.lyx"'.

I think I am somehow am missing “Step 0” in setting things up.

Thanks as always for any hints.

The problem with the "Register Item“ menu item is its missing cleverness. It 
assumes the RCS version control system. That’s why it is unusable with all 
other systems like SVN and GIT.

You have to register (add) it to your repository manually or with the help of 
your GUI. Later you’re able to work with the LyX version control features.

Re: Version control system

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Ivan,

I assume you use a Mac from the look of the icons. If you use Windows, 
stop reading here :-)-O



What happens if you try something like

ci -l Title.lyx

from a command line?

Or even better

ci -u -i -t-"Register" "Title.lyx"

(leave the -q out)


Does a file 

Title.lyx,v

already exist?



I have been using RCS on the mac for many years, and for a single user
it is perfectly sufficient.  On the Mac it was included in the past, but
now (Mojave) has to install it manually from something like Homebrew.


What does 

realpath $(which ci)

return? 

Homebrew would return something like

/usr/local/Cellar/rcs/5.9.4_1/bin/ci


For collaboration something like GIT or SVN is much better, but the
required setup effort is also bigger.

greetings, el

Hello,

You are either making a small mistake or it does not work due to some bug in 
RCS.  Git is totally independent from RCS and is a seperate VCS. If you are 
using Git, you do not need to use RCS.

In fact, Git is more powerful and bug-free than RCS, so I would highly 
recommend to use Git along with a GUI such as Sourcetree instead of RCS (you 
can use built-in Git toolbar but that does not track files -e.g. figures- other 
than the LyX file). AFAIK, RCS is not actively maintained/developed anymore, it 
is outdated and has some bugs. I have spent too much time on RCS, and it did 
not prove to be useful for my case at all. So in my opinion: dump RCS and 
invest into Git.

What sounds relatively easy is to add one-line text field next to 
"Revision back: N" counter which contains the ouput of:
git show --quiet --abbrev-commit --pretty=oneline HEAD~N
which would be triggered for any value entered in the counter.

Indeed, I meant the sha1sum hash.  A thought:

There is perhaps an inconsistency here: the LyX-internal Version Control
Log gives the standard `git log` output which is based only on the hashes.
The LyX-internal Compare with Older Revision is based only on HEAD~N
pointers.

Is there a way to bring these consistent so a user can clearly see which
commits are going to be compared?  I understand the ease associated with
the HEAD~N approach; however, can that information be put into the Version
Control Log?  Alternatively, could a Version Control Log-like text box be
added to the diff dialog and populated with "git log -N" according to the
"N" selected by the user?  This latter approach is likely (a) easier and
(b) more descriptive.

If any of these approaches (or another) sounds reasonable, I'll submit an
enhancement request.

If you mean sha of the commit then no, you would need to check log
for the exact strings. In fact LyX internally does not deal with them,
it just goes by HEAD~N pointers when reaching back to N-th commit in

RE: RCS Version Control on Two Computers

[Baris Erkus]

I found the answer by myself on the LyX wiki:

https://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/VersionControlInstallationAndUsage#toc7

Version Control on the Cloud with RCS

Let’s assume this situation: you have to identical LyX installations with RCS 
on two different PCs, one at work and one at home. And you saved all your LyX 
files on your Box, dropbox or OneDrive. You want to be able to continue working 
at home after you leave your saved document at work. This can be done but not 
in a perfect way. What I mean is that you won’t be able to just have a version 
controlled document on one pc and use the same file on the other pc. What you 
have to do is check all changes on your work pc before leaving. When you go 
back home you have to check out the document and continue working. Note that 
won’t be able to keep the same history of version control on the file at work 
unless you do the check in/check out as I just described. If you save you 
document at work without checking them, then you lose all of these changes 
since you will have to check out the document at home to continue version 
control. This is an apparent bug in RCS and sadly it is the best thing 
available on Windows since LyX doesn’t yet fully support git.
(note: whoever is writting this I invite you to development mailing list. I do 
not exactly understand what your issue with RCS is, but we might be able to fix 
it. Pavel)

Hi,

I am working on a LyX document with RCS version control enabled.

I am working on the file during the day in my office on my office PC and in the 
evening on my home PC. I am using cloud to keep files.

I sometimes encounter that RCS gives an error. (I guess it is related with 
check-in check-out status, ready-only status and maybe other settings.)

[cid:image001.png@01D3C0F4.90C529F0]

What should I do to make RCS work on two PCs?

Thanks in advance,

Note: This is the fixed I found by myself:

When I check the “.lyx,v” file, I observe that the following header creates a 
problem. (I guess this header corresponds to checked-in status.)

head  1.8;
access;

I check the header of fine-working RCS file and found that it is in the 
following format. (I guess this header corresponds to checked-out status.)

head  1.8;

locks
bariserkus:1.8; strict;

If I replace the “locks; strict;”  portion with “locksbariserkus:1.8;

Git's the bomb. If you're having your editor review your LyX doc, there
could be two special paragraph styles that doesn't show up on the PDF:
Query and Answer: Your editor queries you why you don't do something
different, and you either answer "Agreed", or you say why you think it

Re: Problem: version control suddenly no longer works in LyX 2.2 and 2.3rc1

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Rich,

half in jest :-)-O

RCS on an an existing file is better than no version control, or
starting a new version control with different software (on the same
document, and loosing all previous version control).

It also works for single users very well, I have a few documents with
includes all under RCS, and I use the rcs-multi package to generate
something like

\rcsid{$Id: handbook.lyx,v 1.11 2017/08/12 18:20:59 el Exp $}

\newcommand{\versionstring}{v\rcsfilerev,
\rcsfileyear-\rcsfilemonth-\rcsfileday}

suitable for preamble and/or ERT, page styles or watermarks.

On new files one can obviously take something modern, especially if one
collaborates.

Maybe one can take the time to look at one of the already existing
converters from RCS (CVS?) to SVN/GIT or whatever else LyX can handle,
but to be honest, why bother?

I was solving someone-else's problem, so not my choice.

Anyway, more modern does not mean more appropriate.

RCS is most easy and one does not have to deal with repositories (I actually
prefer to use it for small-scale lyx documents myself). But the moment you need
to track pictures, bibliography etc, you need more powerful tool.  SVN is best
when you want collaborate and enforce locking for (childerns of) the document.
Git allows you to have easy local repo without any need of server hassle.
So it really depends what is the particular usecase...

First idea: change of username (rcs lock is saved under your login name).

Then looking at debug would be helpful:
1. View->Message Pane
2. Settings panel->Selected & "lyxvc - Version control"
3. Switch back to Output panel
4. run your erring command and check (post here) the message.

You can also play with the commands after "doVCCommandCall:"
msg on your own to check what is going on if you know how
to work with terminal/rcs.

Problem: version control suddenly no longer works in LyX 2.2 and 2.3rc1

[Busch, Andreas]

Hi,

for years I have used LyX with version control (GNU rcs) on a number of 
documents which I regularly revise. It has proved very useful for that purpose.

Trying to check out one of these documents I ran into trouble yesterday, 
however. LyX threw up an unexplained error box indicating that trying to use co 
(checkout) had resulted in an error. All other attempts (rolling back the last 
check-in or trying to register a new document with rcs) also failed.

I use GNU RCS 5.9.0 which appears to be the most recent, on a Mac with High 
Sierra (10.13.2) and LyX 2.2. Updating to LyX 2.3rc1 made no difference. I am 
not sure whether the last successful use of rcs with LyX predates upgrading to 
High Sierra, otherwise there were no changes to my setup.

Having checked the mailing list archive, I find no recent discussion of 
problems around rcs. If anyone has an idea where the cause of the error may be 
or any suggestions what else I should try I'd be very grateful!

Thanks and best wishes,

Andreas

However, you need to know something. LyX doesn't commit any new files or

You can not create git repository with LyX. You need to do it manually
and then simple git commands will work inside LyX.

If you try to put lyx file under version control in LyX, it will try to
use rcs by default, not git and that's the problem you see ('ci' command
is part of rcs as others already suggested.)

Actually in current LyX setup RCS is more feature rich than git and given
it's storage simplicity it's often better alternative than git.

Things change if you want collaborate or store also figures.

You might want to look at Help->Additional Features, section "Version Control 
in LyX".

Most probably too late since you already switched to git, but anyway - 
for your original problem, my guess is that you have different user name
at work and at home. LyX uses RCS in the way that only the same name which
locked the document can unlock it again. So if you have different username
it will choke on that.

Second problem might by that OneDrive does not correctly store read-only
flags of the files, which is for RCS/SVN critical because they use locking.

Actually I couldn't wait the whole week to try git. I installed git on 
my work pc, created a sample LyX file then created a git repo using 
the git client (the LyX document resides in a folder in my OneDrive 
and the .git folder repo is within this folder). Once I do this and 
open the document in LyX, LyX detects the version control. I added few 
more lines and checked in the new document. I then go back home and 
installed git to see if I can continue checking in to the document. So 
I open the document with LyX, add few more lines and then check in and 
Voila! It works. I even can check out and compare revisions. Note that 
I don't interact with git anymore after I setup the repo.
The limitation of this approach is that you have to set up the git 
repo before you can do version control on the document but I can live 
with that. It would be a neat solution, if LyX in future versions 
ships with git and enable the user to register the document in the

(basically a small script that calls git internally without the user

RE: RCS Version Control on Windows

[Ahmad Abdullah]

This is just a recap and for future reference ( I will include it in the wiki 
as well). So it seems that I can only check in from Home only after I checkout 
the last version I checked in at work. Meaning that, if I need to be able to do 
version control at home on the same file, I must check in all changes I made at 
work before going home or else I will lose all of them because at home I have 
to check out the last successfully checked in version before being able to do 
any version control. Even if I save my changes at work without checking them 
in, I will lose all of them at home because I have to check out the last

Provided you have a checkout from a git repo.
From lyx you can open a file which is under git control.
Then use e.g.
    File->Version Control->Show History

I
 do include the whole document and its RCS repo in OneDrive, as matter 
of fact in the same folder. This is what is confusing me, if everything 
lives in the same folder, why
can't I do version control on a different PC? I have examined the MyDoc.lyx,v 
file and I don't see any trace for OS dependent variables.



Setting up a git account would be a less neat solution as I will lose the 
version control from within LyX.

  so much time to
  know how to install RCS on Windows. I basically followed the

  that, I was able to do version control easily. I have
  identical installations
  at the PC at home and the one at work (work is windows 7 and
  home is windows
  10). 
Now my problem is actually that I use my
  OneDrive to save my
  LyX document. I use my OneDrive so I have access to the
  document both at work
  and at home. So here is a typical scenario I am facing: I am
  at work, saved the
  document on my OneDrive and then checked in all changes. After
  that I go back
  home, the problem arises. When I open the document I saved at
  work with the LyX
  installation at home, LyX at home doesn’t recognize the last
  check in that I
  committed at work and I still have to check in the last change
  (LyX at home
  says the document is not locked). So I try to check in the
  last change, and
  then LyX complains saying that “Some error happened while ci,
  can’t check in
  the document”. Basically what is happening I can’t check in
  any changes made at
  home to the same RCS repo (the MyDoc.lyx,v file) I
  created at work, i.e.,
  I have to save the document with a new name and start a new
  version control in
  it which means I will have to lose all history in the RCS
  repo; a bad idea obviously.

My question is whether any one saw this
  before. What should
  I do so that I can check in to same RCS repo both at home and
  at work without
  the need to re-save the same document over and over again.
  



This is a problem with RCS, not with LyX.



If I were you, I'd set up a free git account somewhere, e.g.,
gitlab, and use that. Then you don't need OneDrive or whatever. You
can push your changes to yout git account from home, then pull them
at work, and vice versa.



Alternatively, if you really want to use OneDrive, then you should
put the entire directory where your RCS repo lives on it.

I still have to check in the last change (LyX at home says the 
document is not locked). So I try to check in the last change, and 
then LyX complains saying that “Some error happened while ci, can’t 
check in the document”. Basically what is happening I can’t check in 
any changes made at home to the same RCS repo (the *MyDoc.lyx,v* file) 
I created at work, i.e., I have to save the document with a new name 
and start a new version control in it which means I will have to lose 
all history in the RCS repo; a bad idea obviously.


My question is whether any one saw this before. What should I do so 
that I can check in to same RCS repo both at home and at work without 
the need to re-save the same document over and over again.




This is a problem with RCS, not with LyX.

If I were you, I'd set up a free git account somewhere, e.g., gitlab, 
and use that. Then you don't need OneDrive or whatever. You can push 
your changes to yout git account from home, then pull them at work, and 
vice versa.


Alternatively, if you really want to use OneDrive, then you should put 
the entire directory where your RCS repo lives on it.

Re: RCS Version Control on Windows

Have you tried making sure that the RCS archive is getting copied
across? If you're just transporting the lyx file then you will, of
course, not be getting the history in the archive. 

Can you find a cloud-based version control service (Github? -- I'm so
naive)? Your version control wouldn't be integrated with lyx, then, but
RCS is so old it creaks.

RCS Version Control on Windows

[Ahmad Abdullah]

Hi all, 

This is my first email to this group. I generally find the
online resources as well as LyX documentation very helpful. The only exception
to this rule is when it comes to version control. It took me so much time to
know how to install RCS on Windows. I basically followed the steps given in the
LyX wiki on how to install RCS for a portable LyX installation. After I did
that, I was able to do version control easily. I have identical installations
at the PC at home and the one at work (work is windows 7 and home is windows
10). 

Now my problem is actually that I use my OneDrive to save my
LyX document. I use my OneDrive so I have access to the document both at work
and at home. So here is a typical scenario I am facing: I am at work, saved the
document on my OneDrive and then checked in all changes. After that I go back
home, the problem arises. When I open the document I saved at work with the LyX
installation at home, LyX at home doesn’t recognize the last check in that I
committed at work and I still have to check in the last change (LyX at home
says the document is not locked). So I try to check in the last change, and
then LyX complains saying that “Some error happened while ci, can’t check in
the document”. Basically what is happening I can’t check in any changes made at
home to the same RCS repo (the MyDoc.lyx,v file) I created at work, i.e.,
I have to save the document with a new name and start a new version control in
it which means I will have to lose all history in the RCS repo; a bad idea 
obviously.


My question is whether any one saw this before. What should
I do so that I can check in to same RCS repo both at home and at work without
the need to re-save the same document over and over again.

 Hi Murat,
 
 Thanks for your quick reply.
 I’m using the native version control of Lyx which creates a .lyx,v file. So 
 I think this is not SVN but simple version control, right?
 Nevertheless I reinstalled the command line tools of Xcode some time ago 
 after Mavericks update - but when using SVN I am using the app „Versions“

 I don’t know if those information is helping you getting to know what went

 Hi Murat,

 Thanks for your quick reply.
 I’m using the native version control of Lyx which creates a .lyx,v file.
 So I think this is not SVN but simple version control, right?
 Nevertheless I reinstalled the command line tools of Xcode some time ago
 after Mavericks update - but when using SVN I am using the app „Versions“
 and for eclipse I’m using subclipse for SVN support.

 I don’t know if those information is helping you getting to know what went
 wrong here - but is Lyx really using SVN for version control?


 Cheers,
 Thomas

 Hi Thomas,
 Were you using  the SVN version that comes with Xcode? If yes, have you
 reinstalled the command line tools of Xcode? They are suppressed during the
 installation of Mavericks if I remember well. Their reinstallation  is
 necessary if you need that SVN, or have not installed another one. If you
 rather use Git, you can also install it yourself. Mavericks update has
 deleted many things in my case (including the Oracle Java, for example).

 Hi guys,

 I’ve a huge problem with my version control in an existing file and
 noticed it now.
 There may be a connection to the Mavericks update on OS X, but I’m not
 100% sure.
 I’ve posted some screenshots of my errors here:
 http://latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19t=24217p=82332#p82332

 I receive the error on both 2.0.6 and 2.1beta2.

 Can you tell me something about this error? How can I fix this?

 All the best,
 Thomas

Re: Problematic Version Control

[Thomas Wirtz]

Hi Murat,

Thank your for your advice and your link.
I can’t really say something about Xcode / Coda and if it affects the version 
control system of LyX. I don’t use Git / SVN with Lyx - just the regular VC: 
http://wiki.lyx.org/Mac/VersionControl
So it’s RCS.

Fine to know, that LyX now supports Git / SVN. I will use that for future 
projects, but of course now I would be really happy to recover my current VC 
(RCS) .lyx,v file to have the full history back for use :)

For the list, I added the two error messages to this e-mail:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1625441/error1.jpg
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1625441/error2.jpg

First error occurs when I try to „commit, and the second one when I try to 
retrieve the history.


Cheers,
Thomas

The version I have with Xcode 5.2 on my laptop is RCS version 5.7
You can check yours by executing rcs -V in Terminal.
I do not fully grok the messages in German, so I am just guessing here.
More people could maybe help you if you translate the messages to English,
I think.

I do not fully grok the messages in German, so I am just guessing here.
More people could maybe help you if you translate the messages to English,
I think.

 Hi Murat,

 Thank your for your advice and your link.
 I can’t really say something about Xcode / Coda and if it affects the
 version control system of LyX. I don’t use Git / SVN with Lyx - just the
 regular VC: http://wiki.lyx.org/Mac/VersionControl
 So it’s RCS.

 Fine to know, that LyX now supports Git / SVN. I will use that for future
 projects, but of course now I would be really happy to recover my current
 VC (RCS) .lyx,v file to have the full history back for use :)

 For the list, I added the two error messages to this e-mail:
 https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1625441/error1.jpg
 https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1625441/error2.jpg

 First error occurs when I try to „commit, and the second one when I try
 to retrieve the history.


 Cheers,
 Thomas

 Hi Thomas,

 I am not sure that I understand everything :-)  I am not a big VC user
 myself, I am trying to get disciplined enough to be able to use it, but no
 avail. But, I am more or less following the evolution of the softs, and
 rather tempted to adopt git, now that Lyx can use it.
 Unfortunately, I cannot directly answer your questions. But I have found
 the following post by the editors of Coda, maybe their tricks could help
 you if you end up by using SVN with Lyx:

 I also send my answer to the list, probably someone else, more competent
 than me could help you using the information you give below, in your

 Please keep us informed if you locate the source and the solution of your

 Hi Murat,

 Thanks for your quick reply.
 I’m using the native version control of Lyx which creates a .lyx,v file.
 So I think this is not SVN but simple version control, right?
 Nevertheless I reinstalled the command line tools of Xcode some time ago
 after Mavericks update - but when using SVN I am using the app „Versions“
 and for eclipse I’m using subclipse for SVN support.

 I don’t know if those information is helping you getting to know what
 went wrong here - but is Lyx really using SVN for version control?


 Cheers,
 Thomas

 Hi Thomas,
 Were you using  the SVN version that comes with Xcode? If yes, have you
 reinstalled the command line tools of Xcode? They are suppressed during the
 installation of Mavericks if I remember well. Their reinstallation  is
 necessary if you need that SVN, or have not installed another one. If you
 rather use Git, you can also install it yourself. Mavericks update has
 deleted many things in my case (including the Oracle Java, for example).

 Hi guys,

 I’ve a huge problem with my version control in an existing file and
 noticed it now.
 There may be a connection to the Mavericks update on OS X, but I’m not
 100% sure.
 I’ve posted some screenshots of my errors here:
 http://latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19t=24217p=82332#p82332

 I receive the error on both 2.0.6 and 2.1beta2.

 Can you tell me something about this error? How can I fix this?

 All the best,
 Thomas

Problematic Version Control

Hi guys,

I’ve a huge problem with my version control in an existing file and noticed it
