If there are no conflicts the upstream changes and your own changes will both be in your local files. I don't think it's necessary to teach people how to use git in these instructions. Just simple "download the source zip package and unzip it or use git clone so that the sources are in such and such directory, for example:..." and the simple unzip command line and the simple git clone command line. You don't give further instructions about using unzip, either. BTW, it's unnecessarily verbose to say "git pull origin master". Just "git pull" is enough when you are in the local master branch. It's a shortcut for "git fetch" + "git merge"; for details see e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/292357/what-is-the-difference-between-git-pull-and-git-fetch or a git tutorial. (Now you can see why you shouldn't try to give extra information about git in these instructions. Those who want to use git can read a git tutorial.) Eeli Kaikkonen
