I have tried several times over the last year to figure out git on codeplex
and more recently github work.  Admittedly with other distractions maybe I
did not try very hard.  Over the years I have used VSS and SVN/Tortuous.  So
today I re-read the various git tutorials and played with my GithubInc
installation.

Several months ago I created a fork at : phillHgl/wix3
Today I figured out how to create a 'clone' of this fork.  (Simple really, I
don't know what I was stumbling over in the past.)
I am not sure if this fork is up-to-date or if I need to do something.  
this link talks about doing 'git fetch upstream'

https://help.github.com/articles/syncing-a-fork/

Is that my next step?

Then from what I read I need to create a local branch (of my clone)
specifically for working on bug 4592.  Is that the right idea?

I have been successful in the past at building debug versions of the wix
source (using snapshot downloads).  I have read about creating release
build, but need to work through those steps also.

My dev system has both VS2010 and VS2013 (but I use VS2013 and externally
build using MSBuild) most of the time.
