The standard way to backup a Mediawiki install is to export to XML:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Export

At which point you can transform it as easily as any other structured document and then re-import.

Given that the pages on the PostgreSQL wiki about CVS and Git have been the most up to date resources on those topics available since shortly after their respective creation dates, I'm not sure what one could criticize about them as an information source in this area.
