+I messed up my local clone of my repository.
+
+It appears that there is a special clone, which contains .ikiwiki, local.css, recentchanges, and the like.
+
+How can I create a new version of this clone?
+
+> No, there's the srcdir, which ikiwiki populates with some of those files
+> when run. Notably the .ikiwiki directory and all its contents, and the
+> recentchanges directory and its contents. But not local.css.
+> 
+> If you've lost .ikiwiki and it contained user registration info
+> (passwords etc), you've lost that info. Everything else can be 
+> regenerated by running `ikiwiki -setup your.setup`
+> 
+> If you still have .ikiwiki, but the git clone is messed up somehow, you
+> can just make a new clone and move .ikiwiki into it before running
+> ikiwiki. --[[Joey]]
+
