Thanks for it! It's useful for forking off and having a public place to 
save one's changes to the wiki (made in a repo, not through the 
web-interface, which is the preferred way to edit wikis for me.)

However, there are currently discrepancies between the content of the real 
wiki and the hub mirror, which I've just discovered -- 
http://bugs.darcs.net/issue2483 .

So, the correct way to pull someone's changes for the wiki from
hub.darcs.net would be to pull only the complement of his repo to the
mirror repo.

Example -- how not to pull the extra (spam) changes from a fork (imz's 
one) and also an interesting example of the usage of --complement:

[imz at ovicaa darcs-wiki2]$ darcs pull --complement
http://hub.darcs.net/imz/darcs-wiki
http://hub.darcs.net/darcs/darcs-wiki --dry-run
Would pull the following changes:

   * tip: Invoking Emacs functions as external merge/diff tools.

   Preparing the args for an Emacs function in a shell script (as it is
done in the manual) is ugly. Here I show how do it with Elisp code.

   * minor: correct formatting of code

Making no changes: this is a dry run.
