Changes to mediagoblin_local.ini often require running “./bin/gmg/dbupdate” or installing some dependencies. That should be mentioned in the comments in the file.

For instance,

• changing the database requires at least dbupdate;
• adding a new media type requires dbupdate and installing dependencies (mention the documentation page “media-types”).

As mediagoblin now requires npm, it should be added to the dependency list in the documentation.

Somewhere during the install process a file named pip-selfcheck.json was created in my mediagoblin root directory. This should be excluded from the git repository.
