+       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 "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:
+
+                       REPOSITORY=~/wiki.git
+                       cd $SRCDIR
+                       git init
+                       echo /.ikiwiki > .gitignore
+                       git add .
+                       git commit -m'Initial commit'
+                       # if you expect $REPOSITORY to receive pushs from multiple
+                       # clones, then it is advisable to stop git performing
+                       # fast forwards -- this is to avoid overwriting the
+                       # remote ref and losing commits from there.
+                       git config receive.denyNonFastForwards true
+                       git config core.bare true
+                       mv .git $REPOSITORY
+                       mv .ikiwiki ..
+                       cd ..
+                       rm -r $SRCDIR
+                       git clone -l -s $REPOSITORY $SRCDIR
+                       mv .ikiwiki $SRCDIR
+
+       It is **paramount** that you **never** push to the Git repository in
+       `$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
+       `$REPOSITORY`, using either the `git` transport (if available), or
+       `ssh`.
+
+       If at any point you commit changes in `$SRCDIR`, make sure to `git
+       push` them to the `$REPOSITORY`.

 9. Configure ikiwiki to use revision control.

    subversion. Uncomment the block for the wrapper for your revision

    Once it's all set up, run `ikiwiki --setup ikiwiki.setup` once more.
    Now you should be able to edit files in $SRCDIR, and use your revision
    control system to commit them, and the wiki will automatically update.
    And in the web interface, RecentChanges should work, and files changed
    by web users will also be committed using revision control.
