+Sorry, was not precise enough. It does if you are using the git option. I
+believe this is partially explained on the rcs/git/ page. However I'm still
+not totally clear where I should run the command when using git. If I
+should be in $SRCDIR then updating the instructions to something like
+
+    REPOSITORY=~/wiki.git
+    cd $SRCDIR
+    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 :) 
+
+Have tried 3 options
+
+1. mkdir $REP cd $REP run command (says $REP already exists so won't run)
+2. rm -rf $REP cd $SRC run command (creates a repository in $SRC, does not create $REP ends with "remote origin already exists"
+3. mkdir $TMP cd $TMP run command (creates a repository in $SRC/.git creates a repository in $TMP, does nothing to $REP, ends with "remote origin already exists".
+
+Version of ikiwiki installed is package from Ubuntu/Hardy 2.19
+Git version is 1.5.2.5
+
+n.b. svn version of command worked fine :)

+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

+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?
