git can work on mediawiki text, beacause is a plain text format.
mmm, maybe I'm forgetting asian utf8 or unicode encodings...

mediawiki on usb stick is very nice to see your mediawiki document
rendered inside a browser.
but when I copy and paste it to the original server it can be a
problem to manage the merges of others modifications.
It could be nice to extend the history diff tool to a mediawiki text
that is present on the hard disk.
the diff tool could work as meld, letting me choose which modification
I want to pick from the mediawiki text present on the hard disk.
so:
work offline on usb mediawiki
go online
open diff-meld-like tool
choose what to get
save
beautiful!!
