@@ -3,3 +3,33 @@ post-commit wrapper wrapper that ikiwiki-makerepo is patched to set up.
That just seems unnecessarily complicated. Why can't ikiwiki itself detect
the "cvs add <directory>" call and avoid doing anything in that case?

+> The wrapper wrapper does three things:
+>
+> 7. It ignores `cvs add <directory>`, since this is a weird CVS
+> behavior that ikiwiki gets confused by and doesn't need to act on.
+> 7. It prevents `cvs` locking against itself: `cvs commit` takes a
+> write lock and runs the post-commit hook, which runs `cvs update`,
+> which wants a read lock and sleeps forever -- unless the post-commit
+> hook runs in the background so the commit can "finish".
+> 7. It fails silently if the ikiwiki post-commit hook is missing.
