system developed by Matt Mackall. Ikiwiki supports storing a wiki in a
mercurial repository.
-Ikiwiki can run as a post-commit and/or install hook to update a wiki whenever commits or remote pushes
+Ikiwiki can run as a `post-commit` and/or `incoming` hook to update a wiki whenever commits or remote pushes
come in. When running as a [[cgi]] with Mercurial, ikiwiki automatically
commits edited pages, and uses the Mercurial history to generate the
[[RecentChanges]] page.
+
+Example for a `.hg/hgrc` file in `$SRCDIR`:
+
+ [hooks]
+ post-commit = /home/abe/bin/rebuildwiki
+ incoming = /home/abe/bin/rebuildwiki
+
+Do not use `commit` or `precommit` hooks or ikiwiki will run into a dead lock when committing in `$SRCDIR`
