Feature request:

I would like to configure:

1. separate repos for pages and for media
2. additional repo for the php core runtime path
3. additional repo for the conf path

Motivation for:

1. It is a great benefit of DW that it manages the pages in plain text format. So I would like to avoid to pollute the pages repo with binary artifacts => it would be good to maintain a separate git repo for the media files.
2. The core runtime for a DW instance typically requires some lifecycle management in terms of plugin installations, plugin upgrades, core upgrades etc.. So I would like to keep track of those changes by gitbacked as well.
3. As the DW configuration is a critical part of the availability of a DW instance, I would like to let gitbacked keep track of any configuration change as well.

Solution:

As I did implement this kind of extension I will create an appropriate pull request soon:

thanks @mhoffrog for the PR, looks good. So it should be backward compatible, right? If people update and do not have values for the options, everything should still work?

[mhoffrog]

Yes @woolfg, this is correct. None of the "Optional:" marked configuration properties must be set. If those are left empty, then anything works as before. So it is backward compatible with a probable existing configuration from an installed former version of this plugin.

Hey @mhoffrog, as my time is very limited and I am currently not actively using DokuWiki and the plugin, would you be interested in becoming a maintainer and helping with the plugin? Especially testing of pull requests (mostly yours ;) ) is very time consuming when you don't use the the wiki yourself. Feel free to contact me (see options on gassler.dev ) - cheers, Wolfgang
