I don't segregate my blog entries into a directory, but instead want my blog to simply consist of all pages that have been tagged. That is, I'd like to have my blog page look like this:

[[!inline  pages="link(tag/*)"]]

That doesn't work in ikiwiki 2.1, but I have it working with the following patch:
