+[Mercurial](http://selenic.com/mercurial) is a distributed revison control
+system developed by Matt Mackall. Ikiwiki supports storing a wiki in a
+mercurial repository.
+
+Ikiwiki can run as a post-update hook to update a wiki whenever commits
+come in. When running as a [[cgi]] with Mercurial, ikiwiki automatically
+commits edited pages, and uses the Mercurial history to generate the
+[[RecentChanges]] page.
