> Got `rcs_recentchanges` working, believe it or not, thanks to [cvsps](http://www.cobite.com/cvsps/). If I can figure out this interaction between the post-commit hook and `cvs add` on directories, the CVS plugin is mostly done. Could it be a locking issue? Where should I be looking? Any suggestions appreciated. --[[Schmonz]]
>> Okay, it is definitely a locking issue. First, on the conjecture that `cvs add <directory>` was triggering the post-commit hook and confusing ikiwiki, I wrapped the ikiwiki post-commit binary with a shell script that exited 0 if the triggering file was a directory. The first half of the conjecture was correct -- my wrapper got triggered -- but the web add of `one/two/three.mdwn` (where `one` and `two` weren't existing CVS-controlled dirs) remained hung as before. There were two ikiwiki processes running. On a whim, I killed the one with the higher PID; `cvs add one` immediately completed successfully, then back to a hang and two ikiwiki processes. I killed the newer one again and then `cvs add one/two` and `cvs add one/two/three.mdwn` completed and the web add was successful.

>>> Aaaaaand I was wrong about the second half of the conjecture being wrong. The wrapper script wasn't correctly identifying directories; with that fixed, everything works. I've created a [[plugins/contrib/cvs]] plugin page. Thanks for listening. :-) --[[Schmonz]]
