*Please* try to avoid doing this. Before you send a mail to the list
asking for help with a problem, make sure the problem hasn't already

You might want to use git to track changes to the repo. Clone it, then
every week (or every time you see an 'Updates' email on the list),
do a 'git pull' to update your copy. Or if you don't want to use git,
look into using rsync.
