Wikis with VCS backends? [closed]

I've recently stumbled upon some wiki's which use version control systems for their backend, namely

  1. Gollum (git)
  2. Hatta (mercurial)

This seems like a pretty neat idea to me and I wanted to play around with one such wiki. I was wondering if the StackOverflow community has been using such wikis and could provide a list of some of these. If you've used multiple of these wikis, an objective comparison would be a bonus.

Thanks in advance.

PS: I've looked at this question but it doesn't seem to be asking the same thing.

Edit: wikirial seems to be another such wiki. Uses mercurial.

gitit uses git as a backend and in fact can be completely controlled from a shell. It uses the awesome pandoc for rendering so that one can easily download wiki pages as pdf or LaTeX source.

Ikiwiki is a wiki with many different VCS backends.

Well, arguably Fossil would be the best match, because it's a VCS with a built in wiki.

(That aside, prepare for your question to be closed, it's a bit too close to "please provide me a list of", which isn't muchly appreciated)

I believe Twiki uses RCS.
