-intended for pages that are automatically created and should not be committed
-to the [[RCS]]. It works in the same way as the [[basewiki]] and the underlays
-set up by the [[plugins/underlay]] plugin, so if a page in the transient
-underlay is edited via the web, the edited version is committed to the RCS
-as usual. Unlike other underlays, if a page in the transient underlay is
-superseded by an edited version in the RCS, the old transient version
-is deleted automatically.

-This plugin is mostly useful as something that other plugins can depend on:

-Likely future users of this plugin (the appropriate branches need to be
-merged first):
-
-* with a patch (which exists but hasn't yet been tested), [[plugins/aggregate]]
- always writes aggregated posts into the transient underlay
-* with a patch, [[plugins/autoindex]] can be configured to auto-create missing
- pages that have a [[ikiwiki/subpage]] or an [[plugins/attachment]], but not
- commit them, in which case they go in the transient underlay
-* [[plugins/comments]] can be configured to not commit comments: if so, it
- should probably put them in the transient underlay
-* with a patch, [[plugins/recentchanges]] always writes new changes into the
- transient underlay
-* with a patch, [[plugins/tag]] can be configured to auto-create missing
