-This plugin allows ikiwiki to push generated pages to another host
-by running a command such as `rsync`.
-
-### Usage
-7. Enable automated SSH key exchange between ikiwiki and the remote
-   host. [keychain](http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/keychain/) makes
-   it easy to use a passphrase-protected key for this purpose. It's
-   also a good idea to specify the exact command line to be permitted
-   in the remote host's `$HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys`.
-7. Set `rsync_command` in your setup file. If you're using a
-   passphrase-protected key, then set `rsync_command` to a shell
-   script which reads `keychain`'s current state before calling
-   `rsync`.
-
-### Implementation details
-* The plugin relies on a new "postrefresh" hook called at the very end of
-  `IkiWiki/Render.pm:refresh()`.

-## A use case
-
-Why I needed this plugin: I have two web servers available to me
-for a project. Neither does everything I need, but together they
-do. (This is a bit like the [Amazon S3
-scenario](http://kitenet.net/~joey/blog/entry/running_a_wiki_on_Amazon_S3/).)
-
-Server (1) is a university web server. It provides plentiful space
-and bandwidth, easy authentication for people editing the wiki, and
-a well-known stable URL. The wiki really wants to live here and
-very easily could except that the server doesn't allow arbitrary
-CGIs.
-
-Server (2) is provided by a generous alumnus's paid [[tips/DreamHost]]
-account. Disk and particularly network usage need to be minimized
-because over some threshold it costs him. CGI, etc. are available.
-
-My plan was to host the wiki on server (1) by taking advantage of
-server (2) to store the repository, source checkout, and generated
-pages, to host the repository browser, and to handle ikiwiki's CGI
-operations. In order for this to work, web edits on (2) would need
-to automatically push any changed pages to (1).
-
-As a proof of concept, I added an rsync post-commit hook after
-ikiwiki's usual. It worked, just not for web edits, which is how
-the wiki will be used. So I wrote this plugin to finish the job.
-The wiki now lives on (1), and clicking "edit" just works. --[[schmonz]]

-> Just out of interest, why use `rsync` and not `git push`.  i.e. a
-> different setup to solve the same problem would be to run a
-> normal ikiwiki setup on the universities server with its git
-> repository available over ssh (same security setup your using
-> for rsync should work for git over ssh).  On the cgi-capable server,
-> when it would rsync, make it git push.  It would seem that git
-> has enough information that it should be able to be more
-> network efficient.  It also means that corruption at one end
-> wouldn't be propagated to the other end. -- [[Will]]

-* I think it should not throw an error if no command is set. Just don't do anything.
-* If the rsync fails, it currently errors out, which will probably also leave
-  the wiki in a broken state, since ikiwiki will not get a chance to save
-  its state. This seems fragile; what if the laptop is offline, or the
-  server is down, etc. Maybe it should just warn if the rsync fails?
-* Is a new hook really needed? The savestate hook runs at a similar time;
-  only issue with it is that it is run even when ikiwiki has not
-  rendered any updated pages. Bah, I think you do need the new hook, how
-  annoying..
-
-> * Depends whether the plugin would be on by default. If yes, then yes.
->   If the admin has to enable it, I'd think they'd want the error.
-> * Changed the other errors to warnings.
-> * The name might be wrong: there isn't anything rsync-specific about the
->   plugin, that's just the command I personally need to run. --[[schmonz]]

-

-> rsync seems by far the most likely command, though someone might use something
-> to push via ftp instead. I think calling it rsync is ok. --[[Joey]]
