Rob,

Basically, you are updating the repository from which you cloned.  You'll 
do steps 1 & 2 from the wiki: 
http://dcmf.anl-external.org/wiki/index.php/Downloads
Download the tarball
Untar it to a temporary location.
cd /tmp && tar -zxf ~/Bgp.comm.git.tgz
Then, in your working repository, change ".git/config" to point to the new 
directory.
After that, run "git pull origin public".  That will merge the latest 
changes from the distributed repo into your current work.

I'll update the wiki to reflect this idea.  Let me know if that very brief 
description was too brief.

Thanks,
Joe Ratterman

Hi Joe

I've been working from a repository I 'git clone'ed a few days ago.
What's the "git way" to re-sync with this new tarball?  Can I 'git
clone' over the existing working directory?

Thanks
