Thread:Project:Support desk/Wiki revisions history -- SVN/Git/Hg?/reply (2)

Thanks for the answer, but sorry I seem to have asked a confusing question. Let me try to explain the subject better. I would like to checkout not the source code of MediaWiki, but the "source" of a wiki content.

For example, if my local wiki has two articles, let's say Foo and Bar, and just two edits at these two, then something like the following steps would be great (I prefer Mercurial, but the idea would be clear for SVN and Git):


 * - to make a local dump of the wiki
 * - to update to the very first edit in the wiki, so my local dump working copy snapshot at this revision could have just file, let's say,
 * - to update the working copy so a newer edit could appear at the working copy,
 * ... some time passes ... and then  to sync with the latest wiki changes

So, it's more about the wiki content dump to be able to navigate through revisions and particular content snapshots (it may be one of possible usages), not the wiki engine source code.
