 Ikiwiki started out supporting only [[Subversion|svn]], but the interface
 ikiwiki uses to a revision control system is sufficiently simple and
 generic that it can be adapted to work with many systems by writing a
-[[plugin|plugins/write]]. [[Subversion|svn]] is still a recommended choice;
-[[git]] is another well-tested option. 
+[[plugin|plugins/write]]. These days, most people use [[git]].
 
 While all supported revision control systems work well enough for basic
 use, some advanced or special features are not supported in all of them.
 Lack of support in [[ikiwiki-makerepo]] or auto.setup can make it harder to
 set up a wiki using that revision control system. The `rcs_commit_staged`
 hook is needed to use [[attachments|plugins/attachment]] or
-[[plugins/comments]]. And so on. The table below summarises this for each
-revision control system and links to more information about each.
+[[plugins/comments]]. `rcs_getctime` may be implemented in a fast way
+(ie, one log lookup for all files), or very slowly (one lookup per file).
+And so on. The table below summarises this for each revision control
+system and links to more information about each.
