The RecentChanges page is broken (doesn't show any history at all) when used with an empty svnpath in the ikiwiki.setup file.

Say you have the following configuration:

rcs => "svn",
svnrepo => "ssh+svn://foo.bar.com/wiki",
svnpath => "",

In the above, $svnpath need to be either empty or "/" - both trigger the 'next unless' check in IkiWiki/Rcs/svn.pm:rcs_recentchanges() as shown in the patch below, thus causing all files to be ignored for RecentChanges.

I can not see why this check is needed in the first place, so here's a patch for removing it

It's necessary for wikis, such as this one, that keep other things in the same svn repository. Bug fixed. --Joey
