The V3 is ready, but I am still not sure about what is the best way to
do it for this issue though.

Well it does not work without installing but I think you know that now :)

Thanks for the explanations

Typo s/make install/make/ ?

For now, I have implemented that one : each time you do `make`, if
there is changes in GitMediawiki.pm, it gets copied to $GITPERLLIB
(perl/blib/lib). But I am not sure it's the best approach here. If we
want something entirely self-contained for GitMediawiki, creating a
new git wrapper seems like the best way. But then, we could say that
since GitMediawiki Makefile uses Git toplevel Makefile, it's not
entirely self-contained :/ maybe it's the "copying file" that makes it
weird ?

For that one, I am not really sure Git::Mediawiki makes more sense
than GitMediawiki. The point of the GitMediawiki.pm package is to
contain all the stuff for the bidirectionnal-thingy. So they are not
really Git-related, nor Mediawiki-related. Making it part of a "Git"
directory / namespace does not really feels right, even if it's how
it's done for SVN :/ .

Thank you for the all the reviews, (it works for Ensiwiki now \o/)
