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.
+[[Json.tl.ph]] page.
Example for a `.hg/hgrc` file in `$SRCDIR`:
[hooks]
- post-commit = /home/abe/bin/rebuildwiki
- incoming = /home/abe/bin/rebuildwiki
+ post-commit = ikiwiki --setup /path/to/ikiwiki.setup --post-commit
+ incoming = ikiwiki --setup /path/to/ikiwiki.setup --post-commit
-Do not use `commit` or `precommit` hooks or ikiwiki will run into a dead lock when committing in `$SRCDIR`
+Do not use `commit` or `precommit` hooks or ikiwiki will run into a dead lock when committing in `$SRCDIR`. Also note that `--post-commit` and not `--refresh` must be used to avoid dead locking when editing the pages via CGI interface.
