Gee... hadn't noticed mr by the same author as ikiwiki :-P

This would probably be the ideal backend for 'multi repo' I suppose.

mr's interface to revision control systems is much shallower than ikiwiki's. mr only needs to know how to run a "pull" or a "commit" command, it doesn't matter if these commands behave very differently for different systems. Ikiwiki needs to be able to commit a change, handling conflicts, in a way tuned to the revision control system being used, amoung other things. So mr isn't a very good fit for use by ikiwiki. --[[Joey]]
