 9. Add [[PageHistory]] links to the top of pages. This requires you to have
-   setup [[ViewCVS]] or something similar to access your [[Subversion]]
-   repository.  The `historyurl` setting makes ikiwiki add the links, and 
-   in that url, "\[[file]]" is replaced with the name of the file to view. So
-   edit ikiwiki.setup and set `historyurl` to something like this:
-
-   	`http://svn.host/trunk/\[[file]]?root=wiki`
+   setup a repository browser.  For Subversion, you may use [[ViewCVS]] or
+   something similar to access your [[Subversion]] repository.  For Git,
+   [[Gitweb]] can be used.

+   The `historyurl` setting makes ikiwiki add the links, and in that url,
+   "\[[file]]" is replaced with the name of the file to view. So edit
+   ikiwiki.setup and ucomment the appropriate `historyurl` setting and edit
+   it for your setup.
    
    Then run `ikiwiki --setup ikiwiki.setup` again.
