Is there any way for mere mortals to access the .git of the website? It

If you have a leaf account, you can pull from /usr/local/www/ikiwiki-repo
on leaf.  If not, it's available via crater the same way the DragonFly
source is:

Yes, that's what I was expecting. But:

$ git-clone http://gitweb.dragonflybsd.org/ikiwiki.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/git/ikiwiki/.git/

lang="

et cetera. Clearly git is receiving a nice, human-friendly html page 
instead of a nice, git-friendly 404 or git binary data. Hence my question.
