There is a workaround while you're waiting for wc-ng. Regularly copy the
server's directory to a different directory, and version-control that
copy. I do this for a separate system - every so often, I grab all files
from a dir and copy them on top of my WC. I can then see what files have
changed and can commit them all in one go. You could do this a little
more accurately if you could force a copy to happen when the server
changes something, or just run it hourly.
