Hi, For a few years now, work has been happening in a [GitHub issue] to improve git's support for MediaWiki sites, which are implemented in the contrib/mw-to-git/ module, mostly visible in the git-remote-mediawiki command. [GitHub issue]: https://github.com/Git-Mediawiki/Git-Mediawiki/issues/10 This specific patchset adds support for namespaces in MediaWiki. Without this, it is impossible to fetch pages outside the "(Main)" namespace (e.g. Talk pages or "meta"). Namespaces are heavily used on many wikis and this seems like an essential feature to have. I have been hesitant in pushing those patches here because I know how strict the git community is regarding patchsets and I was afraid they would just get shot down, especially because there are no unit tests for the new functionality. Obviously, doing unit tests against a full MediaWiki instance isn't exactly trivial. Even though the contrib module features a test suite and a way to install MediaWiki, I haven't had the chance to test this yet, so unit tests are still missing. This is the main reason why this is marked WIP. I have tried to follow the patch submission guide, but I believe this is my first Git patch, so please be gentle. Any review would be greatly appreciated and I hope this can be eventually merged in. This work is also available on GitHub: https://github.com/anarcat/git/tree/mediawiki-namespaces Thanks in advance, A.
