    The `historyurl` setting makes ikiwiki add the links, and in that url,
    "\[[file]]" is replaced with the name of the file to view. So edit

-
-       `http://svn.host/trunk/\[[file]]?root=wiki`

+   ikiwiki.setup and ucomment the appropriate `historyurl` setting and edit

    Then run `ikiwiki --setup ikiwiki.setup` again.
