The idea of the script (as it is now; maybe I will change it) is that you 
need to have an _absolutely_ clean working directory.  IOW "git status" 
has to come up _empty_.  Not even a single untracked file.

The reason?  Right before "make install", the script will remove all the 
existing subversion files from the index, and right after "make install" 
it will add all the new files.

This was meant as a convenience for me to be able to update the package 
when a new one comes out, and I succeed in compiling it.

Hth,
Dscho
