 ### To do

-* Have `ikiwiki-makerepo` set up NetBSD-like `log_accum` and `commit_prep` scripts that coalesce commits into changesets. Reasons:
-    7. Obviates the need to scrape the repo's complete history to determine the last N changesets. (Repositories without such records can fall back on the `cvsps` and `File::ReadBackwards` code.)
-    7. Arranges for ikiwiki to be run once per changeset, rather than CVS's once per committed file (!), which is a waste at best and bug-inducing at worst. (Currently, on multi-directory commits, only the first directory's changes get mentioned in [[recentchanges|plugins/recentchanges]].)
-* Perhaps prevent web edits from attempting to create `.../CVS/foo.mdwn` (and `.../cvs/foo.mdwn` on case-insensitive filesystems); thanks to the CVS metadata directory, the attempt will fail anyway (and much more confusingly) if we don't.
+* Expand test coverage and fix bugs.
