+If you edit via web, and don't enter a comment, the commit message for the ensuing Git commit is empty. Git by default will not commit with a blank commit message, so the edited file is still there in the working files for Ikiwiki but not committed into Git.
+
+A subsequent commit (including another web page edit with comments) will pull this change in with any new editing. We found this by having spam edits suddenly appear on various pages with no corresponding commits to match.
+
+IkiWiki/plugin/git.pm checks for a version of git greater than 1.5.4, and if greater, commits with a blank message and '--cleanup=verbatim'. The cleanup option doesn't let the message get committed. Relatively new versions of git support '--allow-empty-message' but I haven't been able to identify when that feature was added. Instead I opted for a default message.

+ > if ($version ge "1.5.4") {
+ > push @opts, '--cleanup=verbatim';

+ > else {

+
+The other option would be to change only line 549:
+
+ push @opts, '--cleanup=verbatim';
+
+to
+
+ push @opts, '--allow-empty-message';

The user is logging as ian, the same user as the laptop. I can push and pull git repos on the same server owned by the same user via ssh with no problem. I have deleted and re-started from scratch several times. However, for my use case I think it's simpler to keep the repo on my local computer and just rsync the web pages to the server.
Ian.

+Ian, you've copied over the repo created by ikiwiki --setup, which contains hook/post-update - just remove that file which is not required anymore on the git server side.

+I think the option to treat the URLs in the config as hard-coded (effectively ignoring the address from the HTTP request) would be most useful.
