+- I would like to have a link to the raw source; using will_render() and then copying the file
+may work.
+The discussion in [[plugins/contrib/texinfo]] seems relevant.
+
+- the common case of foo.c and foo.h breaks
+because they both generate page working/dir/foo.
+It looks to me like ikiwiki is hardcoded to strip the extension in `pagename()` (IkiWiki.pm).
+This problem with sourcehighlight needs to be fixed before it is very useful.

-* Configure a cgi wrapper as usual, but configure the git wrapper to

- the ikiwiki (clone 0 in the image). Set in the configuration:
-
- gitorigin_branch=> "origin",

-
-### Working clones (Clone 1 .. N in the image)

-* By default, ikiwiki pulls and pushes from `origin`. This is not
- ideal for the working clones, since the user might go through
- several iterations of a posting before pushing to the bare root of
- the repository tree. In the configuration, set:
-
- gitorigin_branch => "",
- ## git post-commit wrapper
- wrapper => "/working/dir/.git/hooks/post-commit",
-
- Then just committing should refresh the ikiwiki on the local host.
-
-* You can optionally enable to the [[plugins/mirrorlist]] plugin,
- and configure it so that each page links to the corresponding page on the

-Now just run `ikiwiki -setup wiki.setup -getctime` and you should be

+## Optionally using a local wiki to preview changes
+
+When working on the "working clones" to add content to your wiki,
+it is common (but optional) practice to preview your changes using a
+private wiki on the local host before publishing the updates by
+sending it to the root repository. If you do want to setup a private
+wiki, you will have to have another setup file and and an ikiwiki
+installation on your local machine. You will need all the packages
+this implies -- a web server, git, ikiwiki, etc. However, there is a
+_caveat_: by default, ikiwiki pulls and pushes from `origin`. This is
+not ideal for the working clones on the local machine, since you might
+go through several iterations of a page before pushing to the bare
+root of the repository tree (and thus publishing it on your public wiki).
+You do not want the action of refreshing the local wiki in order to
+review your work to accidentally publish the
+contents before you are ready. In order to prevent the git push that
+is the normal behaviour of ikiwiki, set the configuration of the local wiki:
+
+ gitorigin_branch => "",
+ ## git post-commit wrapper
+ wrapper => "/working/dir/.git/hooks/post-commit",
+
+Then just committing should refresh the private ikiwiki on the local
+host. Now just run `ikiwiki -setup localwiki.setup -getctime` and
+you should be good to go. (You only need the slow `-getctime` option
+the first time you run setup.) Use standard git commands to handle
+pulling from and pushing to the server. **Note**: Currently, after
+pulling changes from the bare root repository, you will need to
+manually update the local wiki, with a command such as `ikiwiki
+-setup localwiki.setup -refresh`. This is because git 1.5.4 doesn't
+have a hook that is run locally after pulling changes. Newer
+versions of git will have a `post-merge` hook that should work for
+this purpose.
