+* When rcs_commit is called with a $user that is an openid, it will be
+ passed through to mercurial -u. Will mercurial choke on this?
+ * Nope. Mercurial doesn't expect any particular format for the username,
+ though "Name <address@domain>" is standard. --[[bma]]
+* The way `-u $user` is passed to `hg commit`, there's no way to tell
+ if a given commit came in over the web or was done directly. So
+ rcs_recentchanges hardcodes 'committype => "mercurial"'. See the monotone
+ backend for an example of one that does this right.
+* The rcs_commit implementation seems not to notice if the file has been
+ changed since a web edit started. Unlike all the other frontends, which
+ use the rcstoken to detect if the web commit started editing an earlier
+ version of the file, and if so, merge the two sets of changes together.
+ It seems that with the current mercurial commit code, it will always
+ blindly overwrite the current file with the web edited version, losing
+ any other changes.
+
+Posthook: in `$srcdir/.hg/hgrc`, I have the following
+
+ [hooks]
+ incoming.update = hg up
+ update.ikiwiki = ikiwiki --setup /path/to/ikiwiki.setup --refresh
+
+This should update the working directory and run ikiwiki every time a change is recorded (someone who knows mercurial better than I do may be able to suggest a better way, but this works for me.)
