[How to push ZWiki changes to a SubVersion repository]

Here it is described a small hack I use to push ZWiki changes into a
Subversion repository.  It does *not* track edit messages, will
collapse several edits in just one commit (depending on how often you
run the push script), and will handle a page rename just like a
delete+add.

I use it to download the ZWiki sources every few hours (via a ``cron``
job) and commit the changes to a SVN repository.

Installation
============

1. Install in your Wiki this DTML method:

     
http://www.egrid.it/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi///*checkout*/gme/list_all_pages.dtml?root=svn

   Give it the ``list_all_pages`` id.

2. Create a subversion repository to host your wiki pages (*Note:*
   they will all end up in the same directory!).  Check a copy out,
   and add to it the script ``push-zwiki-to-svn.sh`` from the
   following URL:
  
     
http://www.egrid.it/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi///*checkout*/gme/push-zwiki-to-svn.sh?content-type=text%2Fplain&root=svn

3. Edit the ``push-zwiki-to-svn.sh`` script to suit your ZWiki URL.

Now, each time you run ``push-zwiki-to-svn.sh``, all pages of the
ZWiki will be downloaded and the changed ones will be committed to the
SVN repository.
