Cool. If you're just pulling, then git pull will do. In the near term, if you also want to commit from that repo, you need to git svn init it and use git-update. Once we get all of the external scripts sorted out and convert the canonical repository to git, then git pull --rebase will be the right thing to do always. Since git-update works fine even if you don't use git svn, I suggest that you write the script to retrieve it from github (helps to make sure that one always has the latest version) and use it to update gnucash-git. It will be simple enough to change to pure git when we're ready.
