I suspect we might be making different assumptions here. Or some other
confusion exists.

If I  type in

cd $path
mtn sync

Will it call the hooks in $path/_MTN/montonerc?

If not, then I don't see what the point of the
note_netsync_revision_received hook is. It will never get used...
 
Nor is it possible to use a monotone server and ikiwiki from the same
database, I believe the monotone server will lock the database so
ikiwiki can't access it. So, on my setup, I have use two databases,
and supplied my own script for the server database, which means that
the supplied note_netsync_revision_received hook is still redundant.

Also, if this code is used, you probably only want to call the ikiwiki
wrapper script on the last revision received, not for every revision
received.

Ok, will have a look.

I am still confused when rcs_update() is called. If it only gets
called in response to the note_netsync_revision_received() hook, then
the new revisions have already been received, haven't they?

Or maybe ikiwiki calls rcs_update() on other occasions too?
