jacob i went through this one already, symlinks and so on don't work, and the page gets converted to /fields/ which is not what is desired.

the nonstandard extension gets ikiwiki to leave the file alone, thus allowing it to be downloaded unmodified.

hm.  it *might* be ok.  checking at 3am is a bit challenging.  tomorrow.

I ended up with the file named fields.text and a symlink named fields.txt.

I changed the download code in soc.git to name the local file fields.txt, but download through the fields.text url.

*grumble* :)  ok.  that's probably the bit of the puzzle i couldn't
work out.  thanks jacob.

oh, one annoying thing with git submodules i just discovered, jacob:
you have to "git pull" in the submodule then actually commit the
resultant modifications to .gitmodules

if you don't it can cause conflicts during merge/rebase.
just got badly caught out by that one, and couldn't recover it.
