* Fixed some confusion and bugginess about whether
rcs_getctime/rcs_getmtime were passed absolute or relative filenames.
+ * git: Record the username from openid in the git author email.
+ (This avoids display of ugly google openids.)

While all supported revision control systems work well enough for basic
use, some advanced or special features are not supported in all of them.
-Lack of support in [[ikiwiki-makerepo]] or auto.setup can make it harder to
-set up a wiki using that revision control system. The `rcs_commit_staged`
-hook is needed to use [[attachments|plugins/attachment]] or
-[[plugins/comments]]. `rcs_getctime` may be implemented in a fast way
-(ie, one log lookup for all files), or very slowly (one lookup per file).
-And so on. The table below summarises this for each revision control
-system and links to more information about each.

There is a page with [[details]] about how the different systems work with
ikiwiki, for the curious.
