-[[meta title="Git"]]
+Ikiwiki is developed in a git repository and can be checked out 
+like this:
 
-[Git](http://git.or.cz) is a distributed revison control system originally developed for the Linux kernel. Ikiwiki supports storing a wiki in git.
+	git clone git://git.ikiwiki.info/
 
-Ikiwiki can run as a post-update hook to update a wiki whenever commits
-come in. When running as a [[cgi]] with Git, ikiwiki automatically
-commits edited pages, and uses the Git history to generate the [[RecentChanges]] page.
\ No newline at end of file
+Or like this if your firewall only passes http traffic (slow):
+
+	git clone http://git.ikiwiki.info/ikiwiki.git/
+
+The gitweb is [here](http://git.ikiwiki.info/?p=ikiwiki).
+
+There is also a mirror [on github](http://github.com/joeyh/ikiwiki/tree/master).
+
+Commits to this git repository are fed into [CIA](http://cia.vc), and can
+be browsed, subscribed to etc on its
+[project page](http://cia.vc/stats/project/ikiwiki).
+
+## branches
+
+You are of course free to set up your own ikiwiki git repository with your
+own [[patches|patch]].
+
+Some of the branches included in the main repository include:
+
+* `gallery` contains the [[todo/Gallery]] plugin. It's not yet merged
+  due to license issues.  Also some bits need to be tweaked to make it
+  work with the current *master* branch again.
+* `html` is an unfinished attempt at making ikiwiki output HTML 4.01
+  instead of xhtml.
+* `wikiwyg` adds [[todo/wikiwyg]] support. It is unmerged pending some
+  changes.
+* `darcs` is being used to add darcs support.
+* `pristine-tar` contains deltas that
+  [pristine-tar](http://kitenet.net/~joey/code/pristine-tar)
+  can use to recreate released tarballs of ikiwiki
+* `debian-stable` is used for updates to the old version included in
+  Debian's stable release, and `debian-testing` is used for updates to
+  Debian's testing release.
