I have a problem when I edit my wiki with a text editor and use just git to commit. 

Suppose `iki` is my scrdir and `iki.git` my repository. Then I did `git clone iki.git myiki` to get a copy. Then I do 

    cd myiki 
    echo "test" >> somepage.mdwm"
    git add somepage.mdwm
    git pull 
    git commit -m "test"
    git push

Then I get the following error message

    Counting objects: 5, done.        
    Delta compression using up to 2 threads.
    Compressing objects: 100% (2/2), done.
    Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 287 bytes, done.

    remote: skipping bad filename #tex_sandbox.mdwn#
    To /home/myuser/iki.git
       32bb6be..1f3a647  master -> master

When I check the repository via gitk I see that everything seems to be ok, if I check the scrdir the same way origin master is one step away from master and the change doesn't appear on the iki web page. Then I tried to do a `sudo git pull --prune origin master` in my scrdir which sets master to the head, but the change isn't there anyway. It foremost appears when I do a second change as above or if I do `sudo ikiwiki --setup iki.setup`.

By the way the setup gives me a similar error message:

    successfully generated /var/www/iki/ikiwiki.cgi  
    successfully generated /home/myuser/iki.git/hooks/post-update
    There are no candidates for merging among the refs that you just fetched.
    Generally this means that you provided a wildcard refspec which had no
    matches on the remote end.
    'git pull --prune origin' failed:  at /usr/share/perl5/IkiWiki/Plugin/git.pm line 207.

Any ideas what may be wrong here and how to fix this?
