+Can the instructions for using `ikiwiki-makerepo` be clarified. This

+Sorry, was not precise enough. It does if you are using the git option. I believe this is partially explained on the rcs/git/ page. However I'm still not totally clear where I should run the command when using git. If I should be in $SRCDIR then updating the instructions to something like
+
+    REPOSITORY=~/wiki.git
+    cd $SRCDIR
+    ikiwiki-makerepo git $SRCDIR $REPOSITORY
+
+might clear things up a little. Apologies if I'm being a bit dim, learning ikiwiki and git at same time :) --Andy

 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?
