+For some reason, on a wiki hosted locally using [ikiwiki-hosting](http://ikiwiki-hosting.branchable.com), web edits do not get committed and pushed to the central repository anymore.
+
+For example, I just did an edit on the web interface, which went on without error, but then the modified files are not committed:
+
+[[!format txt """
+o-cats@marcos:~/source$ git status
+# On branch master
+# Changes not staged for commit:
+#   (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
+#   (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
+#
+#       modified:   2014/summer.mdwn
+#
+no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
