The probability of this happening increases with the size of the repository and the number of plugins installed, because these both affect how long the post-commit hook takes to run. (The core issue, I guess, is that we're abusing the concept of a "working copy" by giving everybody the same one). Here are the main solutions that I can see: (1) CGI queues commits so that a single process can act upon them sequentially, or (2) optionally divorce the `ikiwiki --refresh` from the `svn commit` so that commits happen faster. -- [[Ben]] \ No newline at end of file -- cgit v1.2.3
