+The best way to run ikiwiki in a post-commit hook is using a wrapper, which
+ikiwiki is usually configured to generate using a setup file.
 
 The generated wrapper is a C program that is designed to safely be made
 suid if necessary. It's hardcoded to run ikiwiki with the settings
 specified when you ran --wrapper, and can only be used to update and
 compile that one checkout into the specified html directory.
 
-Now, put the wrapper somewhere convenient, and create a post-commit hook
-script in your subversion repository for the wiki. All the post-commit
