The next run of `ikiwiki --setup` will correctly re-render such a recentchanges entry. It might be possible to solve this problem with scripts like `commit_prep` and `log_accum` from CVS contrib. +* Due to the name of CVS's metadata directories, it's impossible to create `.../CVS/foo.mdwn`. On case-insensitive filesystems it's also impossible to create `.../cvs/foo.mdwn`. +* No testing or special-casing has been done with [[attachments|plugins/attachment]], but they'll probably need `cvs add -kb`. + +Having a `$HOME/.cvsrc` isn't necessary. Sure does make using CVS more livable, though.
