+Sorry, was not precise enough. It does if you are using the git option. I
+believe this is partially explained on the rcs/git/ page. However I'm still
+not totally clear where I should run the command when using git. If I
+should be in $SRCDIR then updating the instructions to something like
+
+ REPOSITORY=~/wiki.git
+ cd $SRCDIR
+ ikiwiki-makerepo git $SCDIR $REPOSITORY
+
+might clear things up a little. Apologies if I'm being a bit dim, learning
+ikiwiki and git at same time :)
+
+Have tried 3 options
+
+1. mkdir $REP cd $REP run command (says $REP already exists so won't run)
+2. rm -rf $REP cd $SRC run command (creates a repository in $SRC, does not create $REP ends with "remote origin already exists"
+3. mkdir $TMP cd $TMP run command (creates a repository in $SRC/.git creates a repository in $TMP, does nothing to $REP, ends with "remote origin already exists".
+
+Version of ikiwiki installed is package from Ubuntu/Hardy 2.19
+Git version is 1.5.2.5
+
+n.b. svn version of command worked fine :)

+OK here goes - I'm afraid its to color codes in it, so its a bit bigger and less readable than yours - apologies.
