+Passed a file, message, token (from `rcs_prepedit`), user, and ip address.
+Should try to commit the file. Returns `undef` on *success* and a version
+of the page with the rcs's conflict markers on failure.
+
+#### `rcs_commit_staged($$$)`
+
+Passed a message, user, and ip address. Should commit all staged changes.
+Returns undef on success, and an error message on failure.
+
+Changes can be staged by calls to `rcs_add, `rcs_remove`, and
+`rcs_rename`.
+
+#### `rcs_add($)`
+
+Adds the passed file to the archive. The filename is relative to the root
+of the srcdir.
+
+Note that this should not commit the new file, it should only
+prepare for it to be committed when rcs_commit (or `rcs_commit_staged`) is
+called. Note that the file may be in a new subdir that is not yet in
+to version control; the subdir can be added if so.
+
+#### `rcs_remove($)`
+
+Remove a file. The filename is relative to the root of the srcdir.
+
+Note that this should not commit the removal, it should only prepare for it
+to be committed when `rcs_commit` (or `rcs_commit_staged`) is called. Note
+that the new file may be in a new subdir that is not yet in version
+control; the subdir can be added if so.
+
+#### `rcs_rename($$)`
+
+Rename a file. The filenames are relative to the root of the srcdir.
+
+Note that this should not commit the rename, it should only
+prepare it for when `rcs_commit` (or `rcs_commit_staged`) is called.
+The new filename may be in a new subdir, that is not yet added to
+version control. If so, the subdir will exist already, and should
+be added to revision control.
+
+#### `rcs_recentchanges($)`
+
+Examine the RCS history and generate a list of recent changes.
+The parameter is how many changes to return.
+
+The data structure returned for each change is:
+
+ {
+ rev => # the RCSs id for this commit
+ user => # name of user who made the change,
+ committype => # either "web" or the name of the rcs,
+ when => # time when the change was made,
+ message => [
+ { line => "commit message line 1" },
+ { line => "commit message line 2" },
+ # etc,
+ ],
+ pages => [
+ {
+ page => # name of page changed,
+ diffurl => # optional url to a diff of changes
+ },
+ # repeat for each page changed in this commit,
+ ],
+ }
+
+#### `rcs_diff($)`
+
+The parameter is the rev from `rcs_recentchanges`.
+Should return a list of lines of the diff (including \n) in list
+context, and the whole diff in scalar context.
+
+#### `rcs_getctime($)`
+
+This is used to get the page creation time for a file from the RCS, by looking
+it up in the history.
+
+It's ok if this is not implemented, and throws an error.
+
+#### `rcs_receive()`
+
+This is called when ikiwiki is running as a pre-receive hook (or
+equivalent), and is testing if changes pushed into the RCS from an
+untrusted user should be accepted. This is optional, and doesn't make
+sense to implement for all RCSs.
+
+It should examine the incoming changes, and do any sanity
+checks that are appropriate for the RCS to limit changes to safe file adds,
+removes, and changes. If something bad is found, it should exit
+nonzero, to abort the push. Otherwise, it should return a list of
+files that were changed, in the form:
+
+ {
+ file => # name of file that was changed
+ action => # either "add", "change", or "remove"
+ path => # temp file containing the new file content, only
+ # needed for "add"/"change", and only if the file
+ # is an attachment, not a page
+ }
+
+The list will then be checked to make sure that each change is one that
+is allowed to be made via the web interface.
