 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

+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?
