You need to clone the git repository:
git clone git://orgmode.org/org-mode.git
/path/to/your/local/org/mode/git/repository
before you can use the update target in the Makefile, which just does a git pull
before remaking:
,----
| ...
| update:
| git pull
| ${MAKE} clean
| ${MAKE} all
| ...
`----
Note that the /path/to/your/local/org/mode/git/repository must not exist
beforehand:
it is created by the cloning process. And, of course, you need to have git
installed.
