[Monotone](http://monotone.ca/) is a distributed revision control system.
|
|
Ikiwiki supports storing a wiki in a Monotone repository and editing it
|
|
using the [[cgi]] interface. It will use the Monotone logs to generate the
|
|
[[RecentChanges]] page.
|
|
|
|
The monotone support in ikiwiki requires the Monotone perl module to be
|
|
installed. (It's available from the contrib/ directory in the monotone
|
|
source.) In particular, it needs version 0.03 or higher of that module.

There is also a mismatch between the way Ikiwiki handles conflicts and the
|
|
way Monotone handles conflicts. At present, if there is a conflict, then
|
|
Ikiwiki will commit a revision with conflict markers before presenting it
|
|
to the user. This is ugly, but there is no clean way to fix it at present.
|
|
|
|
Also note that not all recent ikiwiki features have been implemented in the
|
|
monotone plugin. At the moment we're missing:
