   Depends on what you put in the wiki. If the wiki is 100% only devoted to working with PETSc and git then maybe it need not be in petsc.git And any documentation elsewhere about working PETSc and git (like what use to be in the developers webpage needs to be moved to the wiki and removed from the developers webpage). No topic belongs in two separate places.
