 Is it a spectacularly bad idea to include the ikiwiki state file in my cloned repo (I suspect it is).  What else could be done?  Can I disable pagestate somehow or force ikiwiki to always use git commit times for Posted times?
 
+&gt; Have you tried running ikiwiki with the `--gettime` option on your laptop,
+&gt; to force it to retrieve initial commit times from git? You should only
+&gt; need to do that once, and it&#39;ll be cached in the pagestate thereafter.
+&gt;
+&gt; Because that functionality is slow on every supported VCS except git,
+&gt; ikiwiki tries to avoid using it unless it&#39;s really needed. &#91;&#91;rcs&#93;&#93;
+&gt; lists it as &quot;fast&quot; for git, though, so depending how fast it really is
+&gt; and how large your wiki is, you might be able to get away with running
+&gt; ikiwiki with `--gettime` all the time? --&#91;&#91;smcv&#93;&#93;
