LyX format is plain text, loosely based on LateX. Here's attached a sample .lyx file FYI. We have one tag per line and a maximum of 80 char per line so that the format is easily parsable. Advanced users often use unix tools (grep, sed, etc) to modify the .lyx file manually.

"--parents" option?
You mean in a text editor, not within LyX? Just look for the string :-)
* When did the description of "--cc" for diff families last changed, by
whom and why?
Ditto.
Eas of doing these is mostly why we chose AsciiDoc to begin with. Any alternative you are going to suggest should not make these two things impossible or very harder to do.
If you ignore the LyX tags, you can just do what you are used to do without problem using a plain text editor. If you want to do something more complicated stuff like choosing a different environment or creating a nested enumerate list, it is easier to do that within LyX.
