+       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:
 
-                       REPO=./wiki.git
-                       # SRCDIR is where ikiwiki compiles from. You thus need
-                       # to set $srcdir in ikiwiki.setup appropriately. The
-                       # -wc in the name suggests "working clone" because
-                       # $SRCDIR holds a Git repository with a working tree.
-                       SRCDIR=./wiki-wc
+                       REPOSITORY=~/wiki.git
+                       GIT_DIR=$REPOSITORY git --bare init --shared
                        cd $SRCDIR
                        git init
-                       echo "Initial index page" > index.mdwn
-                       echo .ikiwiki > .gitignore
-                       git add index.mdwn .gitignore
-                       git commit -m'Initial commit'
-                       # Stop git performing fast forwards -- this is to avoid
-                       # overwriting the remote ref and losing other peoples'
-                       # commits from there.
-                       git config receive.denyNonFastForwards true
-                       git config core.bare true
-                       mv .git $REPO
-                       test -d .ikiwiki && mv .ikiwiki ..
-                       cd ..
-                       rm -r $SRCDIR
-                       git clone -l -s $REPO $SRCDIR
-                       test -d .ikiwiki && mv .ikiwiki $SRCDIR
+                       echo /.ikiwiki > .gitignore
+                       git add .
+                       git commit -m "initial commit"
+                       git remote add origin $REPOSITORY
+                       git config branch.master.merge refs/heads/master

        It is **paramount** that you **never** push to the Git repository in
        `$SRCDIR` ([this FAQ entry explains
        why](http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitFaq#head-b6a3d85f677763313159eb39f7dbf4579d4ee28b)).
        Instead, if you want to work on the wiki from a remote machine, clone
-       `$REPO`, using either the `git` transport (if available), or
+       `$REPOSITORY`, using either the `git` transport (if available), or
        `ssh`.
 
-       To automatically update the wiki when you push changes to
-       `$REPO`, `ikiwiki` can install a `post-update` hook. You need to
-       enable this hook in `ikiwiki.setup` and the path to use should be
-       `$REPO/hooks/post-update`.
-
-       Finally, then, setup `ikiwiki`:
-
-                       ikiwiki --setup ikiwiki.setup
-
-       If you commit changes in `$SRCDIR`, make sure to `git push` them to
-       the `$REPO`.
+       If at any point you commit changes in `$SRCDIR`, make sure to `git
+       push` them to the `$REPOSITORY`.
