Don't underestimate the amount of contributions made to the OpenWrt wiki
during the LEDE/OpenWrt split.  Old habits are hard to break :)

Just diff'ing the dokuwiki files on the two servers would not be very
useful, because there is no way to know if a chunk has been removed on one
side (e.g. LEDE) or added on the other side (e.g. OpenWrt).

This problem is well-known [1,2] and can be solved by having access to a
common ancestor between the two versions.  A possible way to do this would
be to convert each wiki to a git repository [3], merge the two histories
using git, and then convert back the git repository to a dokuwiki
structure.  It sounds tedious but feasible.
