+I just went through the standard procedure described for setup, copied the blog directory from examples into my source directory, ran ikiwiki, and everything seems to have worked, except that none of the
+[[!meta ... ]] tags get converted. They simply show up in the html files unformatted, with no exclamation point, and with p tags around them. Any ideas? using ikiwiki version 2.40 on freebsd --mjg

Can the instructions for using `ikiwiki-makerepo` be clarified. This
command wants to create folders in the directory it is run in. Which
directory should that be - `$SRCDIR?` --Andy
REPOSITORY=~/wiki.git
cd $SRCDIR
- ikiwiki-makerepo git $SRCDIR $REPOSITORY
+ ikiwiki-makerepo git $SCDIR $REPOSITORY
might clear things up a little. Apologies if I'm being a bit dim, learning
ikiwiki and git at same time :)

+Looks like your git does not support GIT_DIR being used with git-init. I
+see some mentions of changes in git's changelog for 1.5.3 that look
+relevant. I've changed ikiwiki-makerepo to use a method more portable to
+older versions of git. --[[Joey]]
+
+Many thanks Joey, upgraded my git, and now have working iki :) -- Andy

Curious as to why support for CVS is not built in. --[[Luther]]

+What is the syntax for specifying the adminuser as an openid user? I've tried a couple things but I'm missing something. Thanks for any pointers. -- [[AdamShand]]

+I apologize if this is the incorrect forum for this question, but I am trying to get ikiwiki set up and running with git. I followed all the directions and all seems to work until I go back and try to make changes. The steps I am performing:
+
+ cd $SRCDIR (e.g. ~/ikisrc)
+ vim index.mdwn (add a couple lines)
+ git commit -a -m 'test'
+ git push
+
+I then get a long error message which reads in part "You asked me to pull without telling me which branch you
+want to merge with, and 'branch.master.merge' in your configuration file does not tell me either." From that point on, I get:
+
+ sws@odin:~/dev/ikisrc$ git push
+ To /home/git/repos/myikiwiki.git
+ ! [rejected] master -> master (non-fast forward)
+ error: failed to push to '/home/git/repos/myikiwiki.git'
+
+If I do a git clone ssh://odin/path/to/$REPOSITORY from another machine and try to edit I get the same error sequence. What am I doing wrong?
