In most systems, wikis are backed by a database*, so in practice there's little difference (with the added benefit that 
a wiki gives you layout).

* - not sure about this in the case of bitbucket, but I'd be surprised if it wasn't.

Also, I find that infographics here help a bunch, like 
http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/QuickReferenceCardsAndCheatSheets?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=Mercurial-Usage-v1.0bz-300dpi-color.png. 
  I looked a few days ago and couldn't find a good one for git.  Especially with the conventions described for petsc 
(which all seem reasonable), I think such a graphic would really help, as it's easy to confuse next vs. master vs. 
branches and the movement between them.
