-Ikiwiki can run as a post-update hook to update a wiki whenever commits
-come in. When running as a [[cgi]] with Git, ikiwiki automatically
-commits edited pages, and uses the Git history to generate the [[RecentChanges]] page.

+## branches
+
+You are of course free to set up your own ikiwiki git repository with your
+own [[patches|patch]].
+
+Some of the branches included in the main repository include:
+
+* `gallery` contains the [[todo/Gallery]] plugin. It's not yet merged
+ due to license issues. Also some bits need to be tweaked to make it
+ work with the current *master* branch again.
+* `html` is an unfinished attempt at making ikiwiki output HTML 4.01
+ instead of xhtml.
+* `wikiwyg` adds [[todo/wikiwyg]] support. It is unmerged pending some
+ changes.
+* `darcs` is being used to add darcs support.
+* `pristine-tar` contains deltas that
+ [pristine-tar](http://kitenet.net/~joey/code/pristine-tar)
+ can use to recreate released tarballs of ikiwiki
+* `debian-stable` is used for updates to the old version included in
+ Debian's stable release, and `debian-testing` is used for updates to
+ Debian's testing release.
