-I noticed when generating my wiki that all of my RSS feeds were
-getting regenerated even when I edited only a page that did not affect
-any feed.

-I found that the problem only occurs in the presence of a file that
-contains \[[inline pages="*"]].

-> How is this unexpected? By inlining _every_ page in the wiki, you're
-> making that page depend on every other page; any change to any page in
-> the wiki will result in the inlining page and its rss feed needing to be
-> updated to include the changed page.

-	cd /tmp
-	mkdir ikiwiki-test; cd ikiwiki-test; mkdir src
-	echo '\[[inline pages="blog/*"]]' > src/myblog.mdwn

@@ -16,8 +16,13 @@ So two suggestions to fix this:
 
 1. Make command-line arguments override settings in the setup file

 2. Comment out all settings in the example setup file that are simply
    setting options to their default values. That way, the file will

    work for these settings while they remain commented out.

 After editing a page `pagename`, ikiwiki redirects to `pagename/index.html?updated`.  Ignoring for the moment that ?updated seems like a bad idea to begin with, this should at least not introduce /index.html into the URL.
