#Ikiwiki plugin for the Monotone revision control system.
-I've just made a patch to the ikiwiki code that allows it to use the [Monotone](http://monotone.ca/) revision control system. It is available at:
+I've just made a patch to the ikiwiki code that allows it to use the [[rcs/Monotone]] revision control system. It is available at:
<http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~willu/monotone-ikiwiki.diff>
At the moment it is basically complete. At present rcs_notify() is implemeted but untested, the rest is implemented and tested.
-In an older version of the patch
-there was support for simultaneous commits, but any conflicts left the repository in an unmerged state which had to be cleaned up using the non-web
-monotone interface. The user's data was still stored, and the user was informed if that happened.
+The current version of the patch handles conflicts through the web interface. It is still not perfect as it will break if there is a rename that conflicts with a web change (but so will the other Rcs plugins I think). It also commits a revision with conflict markers if there is a conflict requiring such markers... ick.
-> The conflict issue seems like the main problem. I might just add it to ikiwiki and mark is as experimental and known buggy though. :-) --[[Joey]]
+Note: This patch requires a rather recent Monotone perl module (18 August 2007 or later). It is available from the monotone repository here: <http://viewmtn.angrygoats.net/branch/changes/net.venge.monotone>.

+>>> Fair enough. Didn't realize you were a monotone committer. :-)

+>>>> I am, but still a little newish. Feedback is good.
-Note: This patch requires the Monotone perl module, which is only available in Monotone 0.36 or later. The module is in the Monotone contrib/ directory. While 0.36 is relatively new, that Monotone module itself will work with a monotone binary back quite a few releases.
-Apparently this module did't make some versions of the monotone 0.36 release tarball. It is available from the monotone repository here: <http://viewmtn.angrygoats.net/branch/changes/net.venge.monotone>.
