For some reason, on a wiki hosted locally using ikiwiki-hosting, web edits do not get committed and pushed to the central repository anymore.
For example, I just did an edit on the web interface, which went on without error, but then the modified files are not committed:
o-cats@marcos:~/source$ git status
# On branch master
# Changes not staged for commit:
# (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
# (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
#
# modified: 2014/summer.mdwn
#
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
The files and the .cgi are owned by the right user:
o-cats@marcos:~/source$ ls -al 2014/summer.mdwn
-rw-r--r-- 1 o-cats o-cats 2812 Nov 28 23:35 2014/summer.mdwn
o-cats@marcos:~/source$ ls -al /var/www/o-cats/ikiwiki.cgi
-rwxr-xr-x 1 o-cats o-cats 15596 Oct 4 12:16 /var/www/o-cats/ikiwiki.cgi
The virtual host is configured to run as the right user:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin root@localhost
ServerName foo.example.com

What's going on all of a sudden? This is Debian wheezy. --anarcat
Oh... it seems like this is related yet again to the disruptive git upgrade:
[Thu Nov 28 23:35:01 2013] [error] [client 2001:1928:1:9::1] Aborting commit due to empty commit message., referer: http://foo.example.com
So this is fixed as of 3.20130711. Shouldn't we backport to wheezy now? --anarcat
