Joey Hess 965f7310fe git: Fix handling of utf-8 filenames in recentchanges.
Seems that the problem is that once the \nnn coming from git is converted
to a single character, decode_utf8 decides that this is a standalone
character, and not part of a multibyte utf-8 sequence, and so does nothing.
I tried playing with the utf-8 flag, but that didn't work. Instead, use
decode("utf8"), which doesn't have the same qualms, and successfully
decodes the octets into a utf-8 character.

Rant:

Think for a minute about fact that any and every program that parses git-log,
or git-show, etc output to figure out what files were in a commit needs to
contain this snippet of code, to convert from git-log's wacky output to a
regular character set:

if ($file =~ m/^"(.*)"$/) {
	($file=$1) =~ s/\\([0-7]{1,3})/chr(oct($1))/eg;
}

(And it's only that "simple" if you don't care about filenames with
embedded \n or \t or other control characters.)

Does that strike anyone else as putting the parsing and conversion in the
wrong place (ie, in gitweb, ikiwiki, etc, etc)? Doesn't anyone who actually
uses git with utf-8 filenames get a bit pissed off at seeing \xxx\xxx
instead of the utf-8 in git-commit and other output?

README.Debian

It's a good idea, and in some cases a requirement, to rebuild your wikis
when upgrading to a new version of ikiwiki. If you have a lot of different
wikis on a system, this can be a pain to do by hand, and it's a good idea
to automate it anyway.

This Debian package of ikiwiki supports rebuilding wikis on upgrade. It
will run ikiwiki-mass-rebuild if necessary when upgraded. The file
/etc/ikiwiki/wikilist lists the setup files of wikis to rebuild, as well
as the user who owns the wiki. Edit this file and add any wikis you
set up.

You can also allow users to maintain their own list of wikis to rebuild,
by listing their usernames in /etc/ikiwiki/wikilist without corresponding
setup files.  ikiwiki will then read their lists of wikis from
.ikiwiki/wikilist in their home directories.


The examples directory contains the source to some example wiki setups.
