-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
        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.
