We're now golden.  When I ran git describe I was told no repository 
exists.  So I ran git init and created an empty repository and then ran 
the git clone command and this time aI have an installed version of 7.8.02 
and am told I'm up to date.  Apparently running a git clone operation on 
slackware 13.0 without having an existing repository for git to populate 
makes git a very unhappy camper.

You're just trying to clone the orgmode repo? You shouldn't need to do 'git
init.' That's used when you want to create a local git repo from your own,
pre-existing files. You're just trying to pull from a remote repository.

,---
| $ git clone git://orgmode.org/org-mode.git
`---

Should work on it's own from any directory and will create a new directory
populated with the orgmode git tree.

Git should work, regardless of the distro. Can you try again? If you'e
like, try cd-ing to a directory where you want this to live and executing:

,---
| $ git clone git://orgmode.org/org-mode.git org.git
`---

See what happens. If you get errors, post the exact output to the list and
others should be able to help.


Thanks!
John

just made orgmode-7.8.02

[Jude DaShiell]

Once that was done I figured to run make ./update in the org-7.8.02 
directory and get the latest patches.  No cigar, this isn't within any git 
repository apparently on my end so couldn't be pulled by make ./update.  
Do I need to edit the Makefile to clear this problem and if so how?  If 
not, how do I get this version to the update capability?

You need to clone the git repository:

    git clone git://orgmode.org/org-mode.git /path/to/your/local/org/mode/git/repository

before you can use the update target in the Makefile, which just does a git pull
before remaking:

,----
| ...
| update:
| 	git pull
| 	${MAKE} clean
| 	${MAKE} all
| ...
`----

Note that the /path/to/your/local/org/mode/git/repository must not exist beforehand:
it is created by the cloning process. And, of course, you need to have git installed.

Then perhaps something more is wrong.  I downloaded orgmode-7.8.02 and 
installed that after having run the standard gitclone command to clone 
org-mode on this system.  I did that because the gitclone process pulled 
version 5.23 for me and also created my git repository for me in that 
process.  I don't know how or why that happened but it was a satellite 
connection yesterday and not my usual cable connection.On Thu, 29 Dec

Oy, vey: that is pretty weird.

Just delete the whole cloned repository and clone again. I just did that
and git describe says:

,----
| $ git describe
| release_7.8.02-53-g88ef5fe
`----

Maybe you're cloning the right repository but ending up using the shipped
version in Emacs anyway?

What is your configuration to use git org-mode from the git repository?
