+I want to collect common problems and their solutions when using Ikiwiki with Git here. Nothing here yet though, so feel free to add...

+> Well, I have a question. :-)

+> If I follow the instructions, I get a bare $REPOSITORY and a $SRCDIR that
+> is cloned off of it. Web edits change the SRCDIR and ikiwiki automatically
+> pushes to origin, which updates REPOSITORY. But the instructions say not
+> to clone from SRCDIR; so I clone from REPOSITORY. Now if I manually edit
+> a file and push the commit, it goes to REPOSITORY. The wiki isn't
+> updated.

+> Seems like REPOSITORY needs a post-receive hook that cd's to SRCDIR and
+> does a git pull, and manually triggers ikiwiki. Which seems very messy.
