* Old versions of git-init don't support --git-dir or GIT_DIR with

  --bare. Change ikiwiki-makerepo to use a method that should work with
  those older versions too.

+Looks like your git does not support GIT_DIR being used with git-init. I
+see some mentions of changes in git's changelog for 1.5.3 that look
+relevant. I've changed ikiwiki-makerepo to use a method more portable to
+older versions of git. --[[Joey]]
