Thanks. I am currently running lyx 2.3.6.1 as shipped within Ubuntu 16.04 (and cannot upgrade right due to a python problem I would face with other software I need).

When I register a file no version control system is offered and I learned lyx chose RCS (which I used for a long time and it is ok for a single file approach, but not suited for a multi file approach, nor can I push and have decent branching)

So in short where do I set up the VC system? I can't find anything in the configuration.

BTW pity with mercurial since it is the better VC 😉

I most interested to use it for collaboration via a server (a lot of my students use now overleaf for that purpose (and not having to install a lot of software)).
