 weelll... not really.  ok, actually, it is :)  the python-dulwich
wiki code that i wrote has *direct* access to the git repository.  i
_know_ that it's possible for that code to destroy / corrupt git
repositories :)  so it will be absolutely absolutely necessary to
write some thoroughly comprehensive tests before letting it loose.

 for example, doing parallel multiple commits (hundreds, thousands of)
on the same file structure, to make sure that file locking is working,
and that multiple commits that occur do so in an atomic fashion.

 as long as the commits are atomic, it _should_ be ok, but there's no
concept of "merge" in dulwich.

 so it is probably safest to have a separately-checked out repository
that uses push and pull between the dulwich-facing git repo and the
standard one on pyjs.org.

 yes.  the basis is pyjamasgitwiki for now.  [email protected]:pyjamasgitwiki

 ack.   yes ikiwiki was a first experimental install of ikiwiki that
i'd done, after first discovering it.  the http://rhombus-tech.net web
site is my 2nd, and yes i did copy some decent CSS style stuff and
hand-edited it for that site.  as the ikiwiki is temporary for
pyjs.org i simply haven't got round to it.
