-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

+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 :)

It isn't intended that .ikiwiki be versioned, is it? Do you have a svn:ignore set?
