+I just went through the standard procedure described for setup, copied the blog directory from examples into my source directory, ran ikiwiki, and everything seems to have worked, except that none of the

Can the instructions for using `ikiwiki-makerepo` be clarified. This
command wants to create folders in the directory it is run in. Which
directory should that be - `$SRCDIR?` --Andy

+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 :)

+Looks like your git does not support GIT_DIR being used with git-init. I
+see some mentions of changes in git's changelog for 1.5.3 that look
+relevant. I've changed ikiwiki-makerepo to use a method more portable to
+older versions of git. --[[Joey]]
+
+Many thanks Joey, upgraded my git, and now have working iki :) -- Andy

It isn't intended that .ikiwiki be versioned, is it? Do you have a svn:ignore set?
Curious as to why support for CVS is not built in. --[[Luther]]

+What is the syntax for specifying the adminuser as an openid user? I've tried a couple things but I'm missing something. Thanks for any pointers. -- [[AdamShand]]

+
+I apologize if this is the incorrect forum for this question, but I am trying to get ikiwiki set up and running with git. I followed all the directions and all seems to work until I go back and try to make changes. The steps I am performing:
+
+ cd $SRCDIR (e.g. ~/ikisrc)
+ vim index.mdwn (add a couple lines)
+ git commit -a -m 'test'
+ git push
+
+I then get a long error message which reads in part "You asked me to pull without telling me which branch you
+want to merge with, and 'branch.master.merge' in your configuration file does not tell me either." From that point on, I get:
+
+ sws@odin:~/dev/ikisrc$ git push
+ To /home/git/repos/myikiwiki.git
+ ! [rejected] master -> master (non-fast forward)
+ error: failed to push to '/home/git/repos/myikiwiki.git'
+
+If I do a git clone ssh://odin/path/to/$REPOSITORY from another machine and try to edit I get the same error sequence. What am I doing wrong?
