There is also Monotone approach. Everything is branches, branch names
are prefixed with reversed project domains for uniqueness, trunk is what
we call trunk (but usually it is called domain.project with feature
branches called domain.project.branch), and model allows syncing any two
repositories together. In that case you can just link to commits (in one
repository). You can have a branch for wiki, and a branch for issues.
That way you can have a "recommended setup" (VCS view vs ikiwiki
location) and have ikiwiki plugin you mention generate relative links.
