In http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/17102/focus=17115 Bernt pointed out the existence of an FAQ that explains in detail the procedure for setting up a local branch that will rebase your local modifications on top of whatever you pull: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.php#keeping-local-changes-current-with-Org-mode-development Achim's reply in this thread also explains this, but the extra detail in the FAQ might be helpful.
