Hm - depends on how you install emacs. I follow the CVS emacs as well
and remove the /usr/local/share/emacs/23.X.Y/lisp/org/ directory after
each re-install.

But:

http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/LoadPath states:

    The variable load-path lists all the directories where Emacs should
    look for elisp files. They are searched in order. The first file
    found is used, therefore the order of the directories might be
    relevant.


This should use the GIT version (assumed it's in ~/.emacs.d/lisp/org):

  (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/lisp/org/")
