-A post-commit hook is run every time you commit a change to your
-[[subversion]] (or [[git]] or [[mercurial]]) repository. To make the wiki be updated each
-time a commit is made, it can be run from (or as) a post-commit hook.
+If your wiki is kept in [[revision_control|rcs]], a post-commit hook is run
+every time you commit a change to your repository.
-The best way to run ikiwiki in a post-commit hook is using a wrapper, which
-ikiwiki is usually configured to generate using a setup file.
+ikiwiki generates the "post-commit hook" once you've uncommented the relevant
+section (under wrappers) in the ikiwiki.setup.
The generated wrapper is a C program that is designed to safely be made
suid if necessary. It's hardcoded to run ikiwiki with the settings
the wrapper suid to a user who can write there (*not* to root!). You might
