How does the lack of a post-commit hook for mercurial affect my ikiwiki installation? I want to use ikiwiki with one of the distributed scm systems and mercurial appears have the best balance of mature ikiwiki support and windows support.

Without a post-commit hook, changes committed to the wiki (either via mercurial or via the web) will not automatically cause ikiwiki to run to rebuild the changed pages. The parent page has an example of how to configure mercurial to run ikiwiki as a post-commit hook. Someone just needs to test this (including my suggested change) and then we could document it in the setup page. --[[Joey]]
