I'll follow that up. The lack of transient feature branches (as in Git)
in Mercurial is beginning to p@@s me off.

I suspect I am missing the URL of the page to complete. Sorry I haven't
done wikis for over a decade.

I would argue that a wiki is a system for when the rest of the stuff is
in a centralised VCS with no non-committer merging. Given the world of
DVCS, wikis are essentially redundant: with DVCS anyone can propose a
pull request to make a change. The downside is that wikis have a
source/WYSIWYG editing, whereas pull requests are source only.

If Google is not indexing the wiki we do have to perturb the system.
