-The problem with --post-commit is that if you delete some pages in $SRC, ikiwiki --setup setupfile --post-commit will not delete them in $DEST.

I add the following to .hg/hgrc:(I use changegroup since I don't think we need refresh per changeset, please point out if I am wrong.)
[hooks]
changegroup = hg update >&2 && ikiwiki --setup path.to.setup.file --refresh
- post-commit = ikiwiki --setup path.to.setup.file --refresh
-
-I tried the follwing commands in $SRC:
-
- touch deadlocktest.mdwn
- hg add
- hg ci
-No deadlock happens. (Also I push to the $SRC from another machine, again, no deadlock. If there is conflicts between $SRC and my own repo, hg pull will abort. You have to pull, merge and push again.)
+<p><del>post-commit = ikiwiki --setup path.to.setup.file --refresh</del><strong>This will cause deadlock! See bleow!</strong></p>

-Of course these tests are too simple. The problem is I have no idea when the deadlock will happen. If someone is kind enough to point out, I will run more test.

I have a few notes on mercurial usage after trying it out for a while:
