## Configure ikiwiki to use revision control.
-Once your wiki is checked in to the revision control system,
-you should configure ikiwiki to use revision control. Edit your
-ikiwiki.setup, set `rcs` to the the revision control system
-you chose to use. Be sure to set `svnrepo` to $REPOSITORY, if using
-subversion. Uncomment the configuration for the wrapper for your revision
-control system, and configure the wrapper path appropriately
-(for Git, it should be `$REPOSITORY/hooks/post-update`).
+Once your wiki is checked in to the revision control system, you should
+configure ikiwiki to use revision control. Edit your ikiwiki.setup, set

+`svnrepo` to the directory for your repository, if using subversion.
+Uncomment the configuration for the wrapper for your revision control
+system, and configure the wrapper path appropriately (for Git, it should be
+the path to `hooks/post-update` inside the bare git repository).
Once it's all set up, run `ikiwiki --setup ikiwiki.setup` once more.
Now you should be able to edit files in $SRCDIR, and use your revision
