+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
