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