 system developed by Matt Mackall. Ikiwiki supports storing a wiki in a
 mercurial repository.
 
-Ikiwiki can run as a post-commit and/or install hook to update a wiki whenever commits or remote pushes
+Ikiwiki can run as a `post-commit` and/or `incoming` hook to update a wiki whenever commits or remote pushes
 come in. When running as a [[cgi]] with Mercurial, ikiwiki automatically
 commits edited pages, and uses the Mercurial history to generate the
 [[RecentChanges]] page.
 
+Example for a `.hg/hgrc` file in `$SRCDIR`:
+
+    [hooks]
+    post-commit = ikiwiki --setup /path/to/ikiwiki.setup --post-commit
+    incoming = ikiwiki --setup /path/to/ikiwiki.setup --post-commit
+
+Do not use `commit` or `precommit` hooks or ikiwiki will run into a dead lock when committing in `$SRCDIR`. Also note that `--post-commit` and not `--refresh` must be used to avoid dead locking when editing the pages via CGI interface.
