FWIW, I just do "make clean && make && make doc" and skip "make
install" entirely (and refer to HTML documentation.) I guess it's
okay for me since I am the sole user of this installation. Location
of Org is added to .emacs by:
,----
| (add-to-list 'load-path "~/elisp/org-mode.git/lisp")
`----
So it's just "cd ~/elisp/org-mode.git/ && git pull && make clean &&
make && make doc" (followed by reloading org from inside Emacs)
whenever I wish to upgrade.

You can reload Org mode by "M-x org-mode-restart" but I also found a
few times that it did not work. And then Bernt posted this a while
ago which solved the problem of loading new version for me.
,----
| (setq my-org-mode-git-directory "~/elisp/org-mode.git")
|
| (defun org-reload-org (&optional source)
| "Reload Compiled Org lisp files."
| (interactive "p")
| (message "source is %s" source)
| (if (equal source 4)
| (setq my-org-files "\\.el\\'")
| (setq my-org-files "\\.elc\\'"))
| (mapc (lambda(f) (load (car f)))
| (directory-files-and-attributes (concat
my-org-mode-git-directory "/lisp") t my-org-files)))
