Recent GNU/Linux systems use ext3 or ext4 file systems. These use HTree
to index files. Wikipedia says: "HTree indexing improved the scalability
of Linux ext2 based filesystems from a practical limit of a few thousand
files, into the range of tens of millions of files per directory. [...]
HTree indexes are available in ext3 when the dir_index feature is
enabled. [...] HTree indexes are turned on by default in ext4."
Thus, instead of working on balanced-page-directories.pl, we decided to
get rid of these sub-directories altogether.
Unfortunately, this is backwards incompatible. Users wanting to upgrade
will need to install the upgrade.pl extension in order to upgrade the
file database.
Replaced the $Id$ tags in $WikiDescription for all the modules and wiki.pl itself with a link to the source and an appropriate wiki page, if possible. This is shown in action=version and should help users figure out what another wiki has installed.
