 This configuration works for me, the svn wrapper doesn't seems to
 do the svn up stuff so I wonder if I've missed something...

+Hello, I've setup ikiwiki with subversion. I can edit pages from web browser using CGI and, when I go to recentchanges, it shows that modification with "web" word. But, if I modify any .mdwn file, it gets updated in website but it doesn't show in recentchanges entry with "svn" word. If I run "svn ci -m changes", it shows in recentchanges correctly.
+
+So, I think I miss something, because I don't think I must run "svn add" or "svn commit" anytime I modify or create a wiki file.
+
+Thanks
