Hi Dror,

I track the latest git code at least weekly.  I skip the compile and
make install steps completely and run the code uncompiled from the git
repository directly.

I just update the code and M-x org-reload (or restart Emacs) and I'm
done.

I put the directory that org-mode is loaded from early in my load path
so that the git version is loaded instead of whatever out-of-date
version the system has.

Unless you need to provide the updated org-mode to other users there's
no need to install it system wide - it's just another step that can trip
you up.

Regards,
Bernt
