+8. Put your wiki in revision control.
+
+ At this point you might want to check your wiki in to a revision control
+ system you can get history of past changes and revert edits. Depending
+ on the revision control system you choose, the way this is done varies.
+
+ There's little that's ikiwiki specific about these instructions; this is
+ just how you put a directory under revision control using the various
+ systems that ikiwiki supports. Note that the .ikiwiki subdirectory is
+ where ikiwiki keeps its state, and should be preserved, but not checked
+ into revision control.

+ When using Git, you probably want to set up two repositories, of which
+ one should be bare (meaning that it does not have a working tree
+ checked out). We call the bare repository the "repository" and the
+ other will be the "srcdir" (which `ikiwiki` uses to compile the wiki).
+ There are [other
+ ways](http://blog.madduck.net/vcs/2007.07.11_publishing-git-repositories)
+ to do the following, but this might be easiest:
+
+ REPOSITORY=~/wiki.git
+ GIT_DIR=$REPOSITORY git --bare init --shared
+ cd $SRCDIR
+ git init
+ echo /.ikiwiki > .gitignore
+ git add .
+ git commit -m "initial commit"
+ git remote add origin $REPOSITORY
+ git config branch.master.merge refs/heads/master
+ git push --all
+
+ It is **paramount** that you **never** push to the Git repository in
+ `$SRCDIR` ([this FAQ entry explains
+ why](http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitFaq#head-b6a3d85f677763313159eb39f7dbf4579d4ee28b)).
+ Instead, if you want to work on the wiki from a remote machine, clone
+ `$REPOSITORY`, using either the `git` transport (if available), or
+ `ssh`.
+
+ If at any point you commit changes in `$SRCDIR`, make sure to `git
+ push` them to the `$REPOSITORY`.

+9. Configure ikiwiki to use revision control.
+
+ Once your wiki is checked in to the revision control system,
+ you should configure ikiwiki to use revision control. Edit your
+ ikiwiki.setup, and uncomment the lines for the revision control system
+ you chose to use. Be sure to set `svnrepo` to $REPOSITORY, if using
+ subversion. Uncomment the block for the wrapper for your revision
+ control system, and configure the wrapper path in that block
+ appropriately (for Git, it should be `$REPO/hooks/post-update`).
+
+ Once it's all set up, run `ikiwiki --setup ikiwiki.setup` once more.
+ Now you should be able to edit files in $SRCDIR, and use your revision
+ control system to commit them, and the wiki will automatically update.
+ And in the web interface, RecentChanges should work, and files changed
+ by web users will also be committed using revision control.
