+The iki-fast-load ruby script from the u32 page is given below:

+ #!/usr/bin/env ruby
+
+ # This script is called on the final sorted, de-spammed revision
+ # XML file.
+ #
+ # It doesn't currently check for no-op revisions... I believe
+ # that git-fast-load will dutifully load them even though nothing
+ # happened. I don't care to solve this by adding a file cache
+ # to this script. You can run iki-diff-next.rb to highlight any
+ # empty revisions that need to be removed.
+ #
+ # This turns each node into an equivalent file.
+ # It does not convert spaces to underscores in file names.
+ # This would break wikilinks.
+ # I suppose you could fix this with mod_speling or mod_rewrite.
+ #
+ # It replaces nodes in the Image: namespace with the files themselves.
