#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](http://monotone.ca/) revision control system. It is available at:
+I've just made a patch to the ikiwiki code that allows it to use the [[rcs/Monotone]] revision control system. It is available at:
<http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~willu/monotone-ikiwiki.diff>
-At the moment it supports basic committing and listing recent changes. It implements rcs_notify() and rcs_getctime(), but they're untested. Moreover,
-while there is support for simultaneous commits, any conflicts leave the repository in an unmerged state which has to be cleaned up using the non-web
-monotone interface. The user's data is still stored, and the user is informed if this happens.
+At the moment it is basically complete. At present rcs_notify() is implemeted but untested, the rest is implemented and tested.
-> The conflict issue seems like the main problem. I might just add it to ikiwiki and mark is as experimental and known buggy though. :-) --[[Joey]]
+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.
+Note: This patch requires a rather recent Monotone perl module (18 August 2007 or later). It is available from the monotone repository here: <http://viewmtn.angrygoats.net/branch/changes/net.venge.monotone>.
-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.

+>> I've committed a bunch of this to monotone so that in future it could be removed.
+>> I've also just fixed this so it is in a separate, automagically generated, rc file.
+
+>>> Fair enough. Didn't realize you were a monotone committer. :-)
+
+>>>> I am, but still a little newish. Feedback is good. In particular, this is my first major bit of PERL.
+
+> 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?
+
+>> It should never reach that case, so I have changed that to error.
+
+> There'an incomplete comment ending with "note, this relies on the fact that"
+
+>> erg... sorry, fixed.

+
+>>> Tested. It still works at least as well as it did. I'll try to get to a test case soon.
