I am following the laptop wiki with git tip page. I have set up my local and remote wiki as suggested. However, when I try to push my local changes back to the server I get the following error: Writing objects: 100% (4/4), 359 bytes, done. Total 4 (delta 2), reused 0 (delta 0) cannot write to /home/ian/ianbarton/.ikiwiki/commitlock: No such file or directory To ian@wilkesley.org:~/ikiwiki/ianbarton.git 5cf9054..16a871d master -> master The relevnt bit of my setup file is: git_wrapper => '/home/ian/ianbarton.git/hooks/post-commit', Now ~/ianbarton/.ikiwiki exists and is owned and writable by me. I have tried touching commitlock and also removing lock and commitlock before pushing. Any suggestions for further trouble shooting?
