Limitations

The following might be limitations of Svnwiki, depending on your intent:

• Limitations we will probably never remove:
  • Does not support editing multiple files in a single commit. Sure, a web-based application for editing the contents of Subversion repositories allowing a user to modify multiple files in a single commit is not hard to implement; that, however, is not the goal of Svnwiki, as the interface to support such functionality would probably make this tool less useful as a wiki-system. The authors don't consider this a limitation but rather an advantage.
• Limitations we may remove some day:
  • Runs under CGI, which might make it unacceptably slow for sites with heavy loads. Page views are served from static files; it is edits and history that requires the CGI application. Should performance be a concern, one could probably get Svnwiki to work with the Spiffy web-server or with mod_lisp.
