(minor) Added a link (in order for the text to be more informative for all people).

1 Commit 3650d0265bc501219bc6d5cd4fa91a6b6ecd793a seems to have been caused by
2 a bug in ikiwiki. recentchanges/* was added to the git repo incorrectly.
3
4 Part of the problem seems to be that git's `rcs_commit` does a git add followed
5 by a `rcs_commit_staged`, and so calling `rcs_commit` on files that were
6 not checked in before adds them, incorrectly.
7
8 I'm unsure yet why the recentchanges files were being committed. Possibly
9 because of the link fixup code run when renaming a page. --[[Joey]]
