It would be nice if ikiwiki had built-in support for a staging area.
Default branch name would be staging, default result path would be staging as well.
Thus, if I push into the staging branch, it should automagically create a full copy of the site in staging/ .
This would make playing with ikiwiki easier while not cluttering the main branch and site.
A simple .htaccess would take care of keeping the staging are limited to people who should be allowed to access it.
