Weird.  I do this command to sync up:

git pull origin

Is this right?  I surmise that this pulls down more code than strictly 
necessary for working on docs, but I don't mind having the extra code. 
Maybe I should delete the whole directory and do a fresh clone.

I'm sorry but I don't understand how to do this part.

Here's the output of git log -n1:

commit b0796ff1c05ab4369275ef336e1581a77538add4
Author: Jonathan Kulp <address@hidden(none)>
Date:   Wed Feb 18 12:26:02 2009 -0600

    Fixed typo: "lastest" to "latest"

It really might be simpler for me just to get a fresh clone of the repo 
to start with now that I've gotten a few git commands under my belt. I'd 
rather be working on stuff than tracking down line-number problems. :)

Thanks Trevor,

Jon
