I might add a couple of cents' worth. I am clue challenged where it comes to certain technologies that the users of lists such as this one seem to take for granted. In particular, while I didn't clearly understand the problem brought up by the original poster, I did have quite a bit of trouble with this very link. I couldn't figure out how to use git at all. I posted on the list, and got help from some listmembers, clarifying the issues.
In my humble opinion, a clearer explanation of how to "clone" (what's that?) a git repository, and so on, would be helpful. I have (probably a bit presumptously) been able to install quite a few software programs from CVS, subversion, etc., probably even git. In each case there was a clearly presented instruction of how to use it. I have appreciated this. As an interloper in the technological world, in many ways, I owe a massive debt to those who have made it easy for me to do what I have needed or wanted to do. It was Manish who explained to me in the clearest terms how to use the git repository. I trust he will not resent my posting here his instructions ( in a far less clearly formatted manner than his own, I'm afraid). I am taking some liberties with his presentation: I. Org is cloned from it's git repo [perhaps in ~/elisp/org-mode.git:]. $ mkdir ~/elisp/ && cd ~/elisp $ git clone git://repo.or.cz/org-mode.git org-mode.git II. When one wishes to update the "clone" $ cd ~/elisp/org-mode.git && git pull He explained more of the process of building the package. This was helpful to me. Perhaps with something similar on the org-mode pages, a less clueful (but no less keen) newcomer like myself may be given the gift of understanding. I have gone on at some length.
