Hi,

while writing my thesis I used TeXmacs and subversion, with no problems.

I did not really felt the wish to use svn from within TeXmacs, as I
usually started it from shell. So i could checkuout and in before and
after using TeXmacs.


Greetings,
Rob


PS: I did not use any speacial options for .tm files in my svn-setup
