+[Monotone](http://monotone.ca/) is a distributed revision control system.
+Ikiwiki supports storing a wiki in a Monotone repository and editing it
+using the [[cgi]] interface. It will use the Monotone logs to generate the
+[[RecentChanges]] page.

+Monotone support works, but there are still a few minor missing bits (listed here so they are not forgotten):
+
+* The [[post-commit]] hook support is not yet completly implemented.
+* Documentation (this page) could be improved.
+
+There is also a mismatch between the way Ikiwiki handles conflicts and the
+way Monotone handles conflicts.  At present, if there is a conflict, then
+Ikiwiki will commit a revision with conflict markers before presenting it
+to the user.  This is ugly, but there is no clean way to fix it at present.
