@ -117,6 +117,19 @@ part). GIT doesn't have a similar functionality like 'svn merge -rOLD:NEW
FILE' (please see the relevant comment in mergepast for more details), so I
had to invent an ugly hack just for the purpose.
By design, Git backend uses a "master-clone" repository pair approach in contrast
to the single repository approach (here, _clone_ may be considered as the working
copy of a fictious web user). Even though a single repository implementation is
possible, it somewhat increases the code complexity of backend (I couldn't figure
out a uniform method which doesn't depend on the prefered repository model, yet).
By exploiting the fact that the master repo and _web user_'s repo (`srcdir`) are all
on the same local machine, I suggest to create the latter with the "`git clone -l -s`"
command to save disk space.
Note that, as a rule of thumb, you should always put the rcs wrapper (`post-update`)
into the master repository (`.git/hooks/`) as can be noticed in the Git wrappers of
the sample [[ikiwiki.setup]].

The Mercurial backend is still in a early phase, so it may not be mature
