It is at least import to me. I svn every files and I svn diff regularly. > Second, even if you (or someone else) insist on this issue, we are talking > about diff friendly here, not svn.

Those are really no issue IMO. My approach is 'svn diff' friendly in the sense that no extra work is needed from users. Your agument is amazingly similar to Richard's "A world's simplest script can solve this". I will not argue here but I would remind you that LyX is used by many users, many of whom do not know how to write a script, or know such an advanced feature of svn. The KISS idea should be applied mostly to them, not us. > Sorry, but I think that's the only correct way to work (unbundling or > unembedding before putting in svn). I only see the bundled format as a > "portable" lyx for the SCM impaired ;-) I would take that as you oppose the visible filename.lyxdir idea. I remember you said that before though. And you do not care about an easier way to unbundle? It is in my proposal. :-) > Enough said, let's fix some bugs in trunk for a change :-) Agreed. Bo
