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: Need a little help with version control
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.

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.

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.
