If you do an svn co, and then install from the generated WC, the makefile
copies .svn directories to various locations:
$ find ~/ikidev-install/share/ikiwiki/ -name ".svn"
/home/glasserc/ikidev-install/share/ikiwiki/basewiki/smileys/.svn
/home/glasserc/ikidev-install/share/ikiwiki/basewiki/subpage/.svn
/home/glasserc/ikidev-install/share/ikiwiki/basewiki/wikiicons/.svn
/home/glasserc/ikidev-install/share/ikiwiki/basewiki/templates/.svn
I think the guilty command is this one:
cp -aL basewiki/* /home/glasserc/ikidev-install//share/ikiwiki/basewiki
(PREFIX is ~/ikidev-install here.)
I don't know of a good fix. I wouldn't have discovered this except that I got
permission denied errors when I tried to make a change and install again.
