-The problem with --post-commit is that if you delete some pages in $SRC, ikiwiki --setup setupfile --post-commit will not delete them in $DEST.

-I add the following to .hg/hgrc:(I use changegroup since I don't think we need refresh per changeset, please point out if I am wrong.)

-No deadlock happens.  (Also I push to the $SRC from another machine, again, no deadlock.  If there is conflicts between $SRC and my own repo, hg pull will abort.  You have to pull, merge and push again.)
