+These instructions should probably show how to use a bare Git repository
+(`GIT_DIR=somewhere.git git-init-db`) rather than a repository with a full
+working copy. You can always clone the repository if you want your own local
+working copy. Furthermore, this allows you to make multiple commits to your
+working copy before pushing them to the repository and causing the wiki to
+update. --[[JoshTriplett]]

+
+Furthermore the git instructions should be changed to move the *.ikiwiki*
+directory back into the wiki's working copy directory, isn't it? --[[tschwinge]]
+
+> Yes, I think so. I will clean these instructions up unless somebody tells me we're missing something fundamental. --[[BartMassey]]
