Recently, I stumbled upon Ian Weller's mw, "VCS-like nonsense for MediaWiki websites". He provides a great foundation and the basic pull, diff, commit and status commands. Since it's written in Python, I could actually grok it, extend pull so it can pull new updates and warn of conflicts, and provide simple merge functionality.
You can see examples of the pull, conflict, and merge functionality in a short MW tutorial I drafted.
