I've been experimenting with tiddlyweb, and found this thread really
useful to get me going.

I won't comment too much on what's been said, but I really like the
concept of tiddlyweb, and so far I think the implementation is very
nice. I do like the decision of making "concrete" bags/folders where
tiddlers are stored as individual files, while recipes are used as the
more abstract list of ingredients/bags that can be combined to make up
a wiki. I sense a lot of potential here. I'd like to comment more on
this and other things later, but I have a specific question for the
time being.

Is there a way to disable revisions?

For now I've done it by using a simple hack in the tiddler_put()
method of the Store class in /tiddlyweb/core/tiddlyweb/stores/text.py.
I just replaced the line incrementing the revision variable with,
revision = 1. This causes tiddler updates to always be written to a
file named '1' instead of a new file each time.

The reason I want this is to avoid out of control proliferation of
these revision files. I plan on using MonkeyGTD with tiddlyweb, and
there will be a lot of toggling of status flags (triggering autosave)
and other minor edits that don't really require a revision history.
Also I tend to be a little obsessive, and edit and save in many little
increments as i'm entering information so that would also cause me to
end up with a whole bunch of extra files.

I do like having revisions in other situations, and like the
straightforward idea used in tiddlyweb, but a config option to disable
revisions would also be excellent (I'm assuming it doesn't already
exist).

For the record I'm running this out of svn under both Linux and
Windows using Python 2.6, and things seem to be working smoothly in
both cases. I'm still kicking the tires though.

I had also encountered that BeautifulSoup parser problem, and my
workaround was to save a tiddlywiki's store area as an html file and
import that using the 'twanager imwiki' command, but the latest svn
update allows me to simply import an entire tiddlywiki. I know you
addressed this in the Dev group.

Great work so far, and hope to give more feedback later.
