Without having looked too much at your code, I can describe in short  
how we do it:

We interact with the high level mercurial API, we rely on commands  
such as repo.add, repo.commit, etc, repo being an instance of  
hg.repository. The wiki itself will always be at 'tip', so there won't  
be any weird heads. If anything needs to be merged, that'll be on the  
users side, and we needn't worry.


HTH,
