ikiwiki uses to a revision control system is sufficiently simple and
generic that it can be adapted to work with many systems by writing a

-These are all the supported revision control systems:
-[[!inline pages="rcs/* and !*/Discussion and !rcs/details" archive=yes]]
+While all supported revision control systems work well enough for basic use,
+some advanced or special features are not supported in all of them.
+Lack of support in [[ikiwiki-makerepo]] or auto.setup can make it harder to
+set up a wiki using that revision control system. The `rcs_commit_staged`
+hook is needed to use [[plugins/attachments]] or [[plugins/comments]]. And so
+on. The table below summarises this for each revision control system and links
