How do I setup an old ikiwiki repository on a new system?
I have a git repository from an old ikiwiki system.
I reformatted that hard drive, but saved the repository.
I copied it the repository to my new system, which is now the "master" host.
I installed ikiwiki on the new system.
How do I set up an ikiwiki system using a pre-existing repository (instead of creating a new one)? --[[JosephTurian]]

> 3. `git clone` from the bare git repository a second time,
> to create a checkout you can manually edit (optional)
> 4. run `ikiwiki --getctime --setup your.setup`
> The getctime will ensure page creation times are accurate
