Could you be more specific on the cause of the error?

Generally, TeXmacs should be more resilient to loading of corrupted
documents and provide more helpful error messages.

I do not argue this point. CVS is old and clumsy. But, like many old
and clumsy things it is stable, well supported and well known.

Have you tried some alternative version control systems?

  - Subversion: http://subversion.tigris.org/

  - PRCS: http://prcs.sourceforge.net/

I can already see you implementing your own "better" version control
system... That is not a core feature of TeXmacs, we should stick to
the standard or (if required) use an existing challenger. But we
should definitely not "roll it ourselves".

TeXmacs is NOT a LaTeX front-end and is unrelated to emacs.
