It isn't intended that .ikiwiki be versioned, is it? Do you have a svn:ignore set? Is there some magic way you can make the svn commands (and presumably commands for the other VCSs here) ignore the .ikiwiki directory during step 8, when they import it? If not, maybe a note should be made that the user should delete this file before they import. --Ethan

No, .ikiwiki should not be versioned, and a svn:ignore of it is reasonable, although probably too much noise for the setup instructions. I've switched to a different method that preserves .ikiwiki, w/o checking it in. --[[Joey]]

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]]
