    Most of the options, like `wikiname` in the setup file are the same as

    will set everything up and update your wiki.

    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 for
-   Subversion:
-
-   	`http://svn.host/trunk/\[[file]]?root=wiki`
-
-   Or this for Git:
-
-	`http://git.host/gitweb.cgi?p=wiki.git;a=history;f=[[file]]`
+   ikiwiki.setup and ucomment the appropriate `historyurl` setting and edit
+   it for your setup.
    
    Then run `ikiwiki --setup ikiwiki.setup` again.
