I did not follow this git stuff, but I assume current implementation tries to use system git calls via Qt classes, am I right? I really could imagine this makes problems, because of Qt. Afaik QtCreator tries the same, is any code used from there in LyX? Had someone the idea to use libgit2 instead of the system git? Was it evaluated? I assume then there we have much more control over the git files. Peter
