+[[plugins/meta]] is not enabled by default, yet some pages in the default basewiki include [[the_meta_directive|ikiwiki/directive/meta]], notably the [[ikiwiki]] heirarchy.

+This means that the default output of "ikiwiki src dest", for two empty directories src and dest, result in the meta directive being displayed inline with the page text.

+At the moment, you go through the login shuffle and then are told that cookies are needed, so you lose all your data and login again. It would be much slicker to note by the edit link, or at least on the login page, that cookies are required.

+Even better would be to only display the cookie note as a warning if the login page doesn't receive a session cookie.

+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.
