To get JSPWiki working well with Mercurial, 

!!Configure JSPWiki to save files in the directory of your repository

{{{jspwiki.fileSystemProvider.pageDir = /Users/username/sites/dsawiki/
jspwiki.basicAttachmentProvider.storageDir = /Users/username/sites/dsawiki/
}}}

assuming you have done something like 
{{{
$ hg init dsawiki
}}}

from {{/Users/username/sites}}.

!!Configure the page provider class

{{{jspwiki.pageProvider = VersioningFileProvider}}}

!!Tell Mercurial to ignore everything in OLD/

Create a file in {{{dsawiki}}} called {{{.hgignore}}} and populate it with

{{{
# use glob syntax
syntax: glob

OLD/*
}}}

Add and commit this file to the repository

{{{
$ hg add .hgignore
$ hg commit -m "ignore wiki version history, we have hg for that" .hgignore
}}}

Now you will have the best of both worlds.  You can periodically clean out the {{OLD/}} folder, or just leave it until it becomes an issue but you will still have hg's history.  Even better, hg's history will be much smaller.
