+Commit 3650d0265bc501219bc6d5cd4fa91a6b6ecd793a seems to have been caused by
+a bug in ikiwiki. recentchanges/* was added to the git repo incorrectly.
+
+Part of the problem seems to be that git's `rcs_commit` does a git add followed
+by a `rcs_commit_staged`, and so calling `rcs_commit` on files that were
+not checked in before adds them, incorrectly.
+
+I'm unsure yet why the recentchanges files were being committed. Possibly
+because of the link fixup code run when renaming a page. --[[Joey]]
