    [[toggleable id=git text="""
        When using Git, you probably want to set up two repositories, of which
        one should be bare (meaning that it does not have a working tree
-       checked out). We call the bare repository the "repo" and the other the
-       "srcdir". There are [other
+       checked out). We call the bare repository the "repository" and the
+       other will be the "srcdir" (which `ikiwiki` uses to compile the wiki).
+       There are [other
        ways](http://blog.madduck.net/vcs/2007.07.11_publishing-git-repositories)
        to do the following, but this might be easiest:
 
-                       REPO=~/wiki.git
+                       REPOSITORY=~/wiki.git
+                       GIT_DIR=$REPOSITORY git --bare init --shared
                        cd $SRCDIR
-                       mv .ikiwiki ..
                        git init
-                       echo .ikiwiki > .gitignore
+                       echo /.ikiwiki > .gitignore
                        git add .
-                       git commit -m'Initial commit'
-                       # stop git performing fast forwards -- this is to avoid
-                       # overwriting the remote ref and losing other peoples'
-                       # commits from there.
-                       git config receive.denyNonFastForwards true
-                       git config core.bare true
-                       mv .git $REPO
-                       cd ..
-                       rm -r $SRCDIR
-                       git clone -l -s $REPO $SRCDIR
-                       mv .ikiwiki $SRCDIR
+                       git commit -m "initial commit"
+                       git remote add origin $REPOSITORY
+                       git config branch.master.merge refs/heads/master
+                       git push --all
 
        It is **paramount** that you **never** push to the Git repository in
        `$SRCDIR` ([this FAQ entry explains
        why](http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitFaq#head-b6a3d85f677763313159eb39f7dbf4579d4ee28b)).
        Instead, if you want to work on the wiki from a remote machine, clone
-       `$REPO`, using either the `git` transport (if available), or
+       `$REPOSITORY`, using either the `git` transport (if available), or
        `ssh`.
 
        If at any point you commit changes in `$SRCDIR`, make sure to `git
-       push` them to the `$REPO`.
+       push` them to the `$REPOSITORY`.
