1 Would it be possible to add an option to only generate the index files
2 for the html output and not place the markdown files in the wiki source?

9 The reason being that I have a lot of directories which need to be autoindexed,
10 but I would prefer if the index files didn't clutter up my git repository.
12 even without that feature the plugin is a great help, thanks
17 If you just don't want to clutter your git repo, below it's a patch does the following:
19 * If you set autoindex_commit to 0 in your ikiwiki.setup file, we *do* place auto-generated markdown files in the **wiki source** but *not* in the **repo**
21 * If you set autoindex_commit to 1 (this is the default), auto-generated index files will be put in the repo provided you enabled rcs backend.

72 `autoindex_commit => 0` would be nice, but uncommited files are definitely not.

80 It'd be nice if we were able to notice directories with no associated compilable markup files and compile a simple map directive straight to HTML without any intermediate markup file being involved at all. -- JoeRayhawk
