I am using mercurial as RCS backend and ikiwiki 2.40.

It seems that, when adding a blog post, it is not immediately commited to the mercurial repo. I have a page with this directive:

\[[!inline pages="journal/blog2008/* and !*/Discussion" show="0" feeds="no" actions="yes" rootpage="journal/blog2008"]]

When I add a blog post, I see it on the wiki but it doesn't appear on History or RecentChanges. If I run hg status on the wiki source dir, I see the new file has been marked as A (ie, a new file that has not been commited).

If I then edit the blog post, then the file gets commited and I can see the edit on History and RecentChanges. The creation of the file remains unrecorded. --[[buo]]

Ikiwiki calls rcs_add() if the page is new, followed by rcs_commit(). For mercurial, these run respectively hg add and hg commit. If the add or commit fails, it will print a warning to stderr, you might check apache's error.log to see if there's anything there. --[[Joey]]
