Simple git question

[Bruce Labitt]

Thanks all.  I found that the simple git pull did what I needed it to do.

Built an experimental version of an experimental version...  If anyone 
is interested I'm trying to hunt down a weird DST/ST time bug.  These 
are a bear.  It's really amazing how often people get this wrong.  And 
quite annoying when trying to sync up different machines running 
different software each with entirely different approaches to time shift 
(all of which were actually wrong BTW).  At one point the different 
devices were 2 hours apart, when they should have been within seconds.

Simple manifestation was a failed file read because the time stamp was 
allegedly in the future.  (The time stamp was not in the future!)  Only 
happened once to me and had no tools in place to find it.  Wouldn't you 
know it, error failed to repeat.  If I hadn't saved the debug log, I 
couldn't even prove it happened once.

Not actually thinking I'll trap the error, but if it happens again maybe 
I can learn a little more how to fix it.

Oh and thanks for the list below, very helpful.
