1 Background: I'm running ikiwiki on OS X leopard, (a laptop), and I have the wiki running locally, as it's mostly for note taking and personal stuff. Anyway.
3 I'd been using svn, but I'm making the leap to git (finally) and moving the wiki over as well...
5 The git works great, I am in fact, quite pleased. Here's the problem. When I try and run `ikiwiki --setup [setupfile]` I get the following message:
7 Can't exec "git": No such file or directory at /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/IkiWiki/Rcs/git.pm line 29.
8 /Users/tychoish/.ikiwiki/ikiwiki.setup: Cannot exec 'git log --max-count=50 --pretty=raw --raw --abbrev=40 --always -c -r HEAD -- .': No such file or directory
9 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 6) line 139.
11 /Users/$HOME/.ikiwiki/ikiwiki.setup: 'git log --max-count=50 --pretty=raw --raw --abbrev=40 --always -c -r HEAD -- .' failed:
12 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 6) line 139.
16 I can get the wiki to compile if: I take the git stuff out of the setup file, if I put `rcs => ""` **or** if I set the the git_master_branch to "".
18 I think the problem is that ikiwiki can't deal with the onslaught of such a large quantity of history/log information at once, somehow, because the repository came to this moment with a lot of history that the compiler has to crunch through. How to remedy this, is beyond my skill insight...

25 >> Yeah, ikiwiki and git are both installed underneath macports, which is in the path and works just fine most of the time, and I use macports stuff a lot.
