[Mercurial](http://selenic.com/mercurial) is a distributed revison control
|
|
system developed by Matt Mackall. Ikiwiki supports storing a wiki in a
|
|
mercurial repository.
|
|
|
|
Ikiwiki can run as a `post-commit` and/or `incoming` hook to update a wiki whenever commits or remote pushes
|
|
come in. When running as a [[cgi]] with Mercurial, ikiwiki automatically
|
|
commits edited pages, and uses the Mercurial history to generate the
|
|
[[RecentChanges]] page.
|
|
|
|
Example for a `.hg/hgrc` file in `$SRCDIR`:
|
|
|
|
[hooks]
|
|
post-commit = ikiwiki --setup /path/to/ikiwiki.setup --post-commit
|
|
incoming = ikiwiki --setup /path/to/ikiwiki.setup --post-commit
|
|
|
|
Do not use `commit` or `precommit` hooks or ikiwiki will run into a dead lock when committing in `$SRCDIR`. Also note that `--post-commit` and not `--refresh` must be used to avoid dead locking when editing the pages via CGI interface.
