## [[Git]]
Regarding the Git support, Recai says:
command to save disk space.
Note that, as a rule of thumb, you should always put the rcs wrapper (`post-update`)
-into the master repository (`.git/hooks/`) as can be noticed in the Git wrappers of
-the sample [[ikiwiki.setup]].
+into the master repository (`.git/hooks/`).
Here is how a web edit works with ikiwiki and git:
* git-commit in the remote repository
* git-push, pushes the commit to the master repo on the server
+* (Optionally, the master repo's pre-receive hook runs, and checks that the
+ update only modifies files that the pushing user is allowed to update.
+ If not, it aborts the receive.)
* the master repo's post-update hook notices this update, and runs ikiwiki
* ikiwiki notices the modifies page source, and compiles it
revision with conflict markers to the repository. It then returns the text to the
user for cleanup. This is less neat than it could be, in that a conflict marked
revision gets committed to the repository.
