+These instructions should probably show how to use a bare Git repository
+(`GIT_DIR=somewhere.git git-init-db`) rather than a repository with a full
+working copy. You can always clone the repository if you want your own local
+working copy. Furthermore, this allows you to make multiple commits to your
+working copy before pushing them to the repository and causing the wiki to
+update. --[[JoshTriplett]]
