+I just went through the standard procedure described for setup, copied the blog directory from examples into my source directory, ran ikiwiki, and everything seems to have worked, except that none of the 
+[[!meta ... ]] tags get converted. They simply show up in the html files unformatted, with no exclamation point, and with p tags around them. Any ideas? using ikiwiki version 2.40 on freebsd --mjg

 Can the instructions for using `ikiwiki-makerepo` be clarified. This
 command wants to create folders in the directory it is run in. Which
 directory should that be - `$SRCDIR?` --Andy

+Sorry, was not precise enough. It does if you are using the git option. I
+believe this is partially explained on the rcs/git/ page. However I'm still
+not totally clear where I should run the command when using git. If I
+should be in $SRCDIR then updating the instructions to something like
+
+    REPOSITORY=~/wiki.git
+    cd $SRCDIR
+    ikiwiki-makerepo git $SCDIR $REPOSITORY
+
+might clear things up a little. Apologies if I'm being a bit dim, learning
+ikiwiki and git at same time :) 
+
+Have tried 3 options
+
+1. mkdir $REP cd $REP run command (says $REP already exists so won't run)
+2. rm -rf $REP cd $SRC run command (creates a repository in $SRC, does not create $REP ends with "remote origin already exists"
+3. mkdir $TMP cd $TMP run command (creates a repository in $SRC/.git creates a repository in $TMP, does nothing to $REP, ends with "remote origin already exists".
+
+Version of ikiwiki installed is package from Ubuntu/Hardy 2.19
+Git version is 1.5.2.5
+
+n.b. svn version of command worked fine :)

+
+Looks like your git does not support GIT_DIR being used with git-init. I
+see some mentions of changes in git's changelog for 1.5.3 that look
+relevant. I've changed ikiwiki-makerepo to use a method more portable to
+older versions of git. --[[Joey]]

+Many thanks Joey, upgraded my git, and now have working iki :) -- Andy

 It isn't intended that .ikiwiki be versioned, is it? Do you have a svn:ignore set?

+
+I apologize if this is the incorrect forum for this question, but I am trying to get ikiwiki set up and running with git.  I followed all the directions and all seems to work until I go back and try to make changes.  The steps I am performing:
+
+    cd $SRCDIR  (e.g. ~/ikisrc)
+    vim index.mdwn (add a couple lines)
+    git commit -a -m 'test'
+    git push
+
+I then get a long error message which reads in part "You asked me to pull without telling me which branch you
+want to merge with, and 'branch.master.merge' in your configuration file does not tell me either." From that point on, I get:
+
+    sws@odin:~/dev/ikisrc$ git push
+    To /home/git/repos/myikiwiki.git
+     ! [rejected]        master -> master (non-fast forward)
+    error: failed to push to '/home/git/repos/myikiwiki.git'
+
+If I do a git clone ssh://odin/path/to/$REPOSITORY from another machine and try to edit I get the same error sequence.  What am I doing wrong?
+
+-----
+
+I follow every steps of the setup procedure, change some templates and tried to modify some page through the web but was not able to do so. Every page seems to be locked by the adminuser user. When I remove the adminuser in the setup file, every ran fine. Did I miss something ? What is exactly the adminuser supposed to be allowed to ? Is he the only user allowed to modify pages ?
