Hi Jude, In what situations does org-mode update fail? I've never had to reclone the org-mode repository - ever. If git update fails, just do it again. Recloning means you need to download all of the objects for org-mode again which should never be necessary. If you've messed up your local master branch somehow and want to revert back to the official 'master' branch then just $ git checkout master $ git reset --hard origin/master which throws away any local commits and uncommitted changes in your working directory. I fail to understand why you would ever need this script. Can you please elaborate? Thanks, Bernt
