-#Ikiwiki plugin for the Monotone revision control system.
-
-I've just made a patch to the ikiwiki code that allows it to use the [[rcs/Monotone]] revision control system. It is available at:
-
-<http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~willu/monotone-ikiwiki.diff>
-
-At the moment it is basically complete. At present rcs_notify() is implemeted but untested, the rest is implemented and tested.
-
-The current version of the patch handles conflicts through the web interface. It is still not perfect as it will break if there is a rename that conflicts with a web change (but so will the other Rcs plugins I think). It also commits a revision with conflict markers if there is a conflict requiring such markers... ick.
-
-Note: This patch requires a rather recent Monotone perl module (18 August 2007 or later). It is available from the monotone repository here: <http://viewmtn.angrygoats.net/branch/changes/net.venge.monotone>.
-
-> The setup instructions to add 40 lines of code to monotonerc is pretty frightning stuff.
-> Is there some way this can be automated? --[[Joey]]
-
->> I've committed a bunch of this to monotone so that in future it could be removed.
->> I've also just fixed this so it is in a separate, automagically generated, rc file.
-
->>> Fair enough. Didn't realize you were a monotone committer. :-)
-
->>>> I am, but still a little newish. Feedback is good. In particular, this is my first major bit of PERL.
-
-> Having rcs_commit return a warning message when there's an unresolved conflict
-> isn't right; that message will populate the page edit box. You might want
-> to use the error() function here?
-
->> It should never reach that case, so I have changed that to error.
-
-> There'an incomplete comment ending with "note, this relies on the fact that"
-
->> erg... sorry, fixed.
-
-[[tag patch]]
-
->> I've [[accepted|done]] this patch, thank you!
-
->>> Thanks for committing it. I hate keeping my own diffs. :)
-
->> I did make a few changes. Please review, and make sure it still works
->> (a test case like we have for some of the other RCSes would be nice..)
-
->>> Tested. It still works at least as well as it did. I'll try to get to a test case soon.
->>> In checking the source I noticed a few bogus comments I left in when editing,
->>> and a bug in page adding.
->>> Here is a small patch for them:
-
->>>> applied
-
-Here is another patch. It fixes a FIXME you added. I was using $file within backticks because
-I was getting an error trying to do it right. I've figured out the error, and now do it right. This
-should also speed things up (very slightly)
-
-> applied
-
->> BTW, will all the monotone output parsing work if LANG != C?
-
->>> It should (he says crossing fingers).
->>> In the places where I do any complex parsing I'm using a special
->>> version of the mtn commands designed for scripting. They have a
->>> stable, easy to parse, output that doesn't get translated (I think).
-
->> Do monotone post-commit hooks actually use REV?
-
->>> Monotone post-commit hooks are written in Lua and can do
->>> what they please. Setting the REV environment var before
->>> calling Ikiwiki seems reasonable, but I've not written the
->>> Lua hook.
-
->>>> So the rcs_notify support is not just untested, but can't work
->>>> at all w/o further development.
-
-I've just done this further development... The following patch adds support for diffurls.
-I've also partially tested the commit message support. I was unable to get Ikiwiki to send
-change emails at all (cgi or otherwise), so I tested by adding warn() calls. There were a
-few things that needed to be fixed. Support is much closer now (including a simple default
-monotone lua hook).
-
-When I stick this diff inline into the page, I have to indent it by four spaces, and that's fine.
-But markdown seems to still be interpreting parts of it (e.g. the diff url) in strange ways. I
-think it is the square brackets.

Ikiwiki's own locking prevents this from happenning if both commits are web
