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

-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`. ikiwiki will do this automatically
-for any changes made via the web.
-
-Finally, see [[Git_pitfalls]] if you experience problems.

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 $REPOSITORY, if using
-subversion. Uncomment the block for the wrapper for your revision
+you chose to use. Uncomment the block for the wrapper for your revision
control system, and configure the wrapper path in that block
appropriately (for Git, it should be `$REPOSITORY/hooks/post-update`).
