 Can we please have a very brief HOWTO?
 
 I have a Moin wiki in /var/www/wiki and want to create an IkIwiki clone of it in /var/www/ikiwiki backed by a git repos in /data/ikiwiki.

-  mkdir /data/ikiwiki
-  PATH=.:/usr/lib/git-core:$PATH ./moin2iki /data/ikiwiki http://localhost/wiki
-but this failed. (BTW, I don't usually put . in my PATH).  The failure appears to be that the converter doesn't actually create an ikiwiki instance, but appears to want to update one:

+I'm totally confused.  It looks as though the script calls moin2git iff the target directory isn't there, but the script fails in interesting ways if it is.
