Re: [PATCH/RFC] git-remote-mediawiki: new tool to preview local changes without pushing

I was thinking that you would be self-contained inside the
contrib/mw-to-git directory, and therefore you would have to teach your
code how to install the Git module, and you could not longer just "cp
git-remote-mediawiki" into the right place to install it.

But I think we have already crossed that bridge somewhat with Git.pm.
And if you add your module as perl/Git/MediaWiki.pm and use the existing
perl build system, then it is not any extra effort from the build
system.

I'm not sure having perl/Git/MediaWiki.pm would be a good idea: this
MediaWiki.pm would be really a mediawiki thing more than a Git thing, so
the Git main tree probably want to stay away from it and keep it in
contrib.

But you should be able to use contrib/mw-to-git/perl/GitMediawiki.pm or
something like that and chain to ../../perl/Makefile in
contrib/mw-to-git/Makefile.

Also, for now, git-remote-mediawiki works only after you run "make
install" in Git's toplevel. I think that's ok, but it would be weird to
be able to use/test git-remote-mediawiki only after doing a "make
install" to deploy the new mediawiki Perl module.
