It only does getctime -- using a real XML parser, instead of regexp ugliness -- and maybe recentchanges, but that may be bitrotted, or maybe I never finished it, as I only need the getctime. As for actual commits, I have previously voiced my opinion, that this should be done by the plugin generating a patch bundle, and forwarding it to darcs in some way (`darcs apply` or even email to another host, possibly moderated), instead of the hacky direct modification of a working copy. It could also be faster to getctime in a batch. Just reading in all the changes the first time they're needed, might not be a big improvement in many cases, but if we got a batch request from ikiwiki, we could keep reaing the changes until all the files in this batch request have been met. --[[tuomov]] - -[[!toggle text="show" id="tuomov"]] -[[!toggleable id="tuomov" text=""" -
