#Ikiwiki plugin for the Monotone revision control system.
I've just made a patch to the ikiwiki code that allows it to use the Monotone revision control system. It is available at:
http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~willu/monotone-ikiwiki.diff
At the moment it is basically complete. At present rcs_notify() is implemeted but untested, the rest is implemented and tested.
In an older version of the patch
there was support for simultaneous commits, but any conflicts left the repository in an unmerged state which had to be cleaned up using the non-web
monotone interface. The user's data was still stored, and the user was informed if that happened.
The current version of the patch handles conflicts through the web interface. It is still not perfect as it will break if there is a rename that conflicts with a web change (but so will the other Rcs plugins I think). It also commits a revision with conflict markers if there is a conflict requiring such markers... ick.
Note: This patch requires the Monotone perl module, which is only available in Monotone 0.36 or later. The module is in the Monotone contrib/ directory. While 0.36 is relatively new, that Monotone module itself will work with a monotone binary back quite a few releases.
Apparently this module did't make some versions of the monotone 0.36 release tarball. It is available from the monotone repository here: http://viewmtn.angrygoats.net/branch/changes/net.venge.monotone.
The setup instructions to add 40 lines of code to monotonerc is pretty frightning stuff.
Is there some way this can be automated? --[[Joey]]
Having rcs_commit return a warning message when there's an unresolved conflict
isn't right; that message will populate the page edit box. You might want
to use the error() function here?
