Hi all,

before attemting to implement the script I was wondering if there exists a
makefile target that updates the repository to the latest release? I was
thinking something along the lines of:

----------------------------------------
current=... # determine the current version

git checkout master
git pull origin master

latest=... # determine latest release from git log

git log --oneline $current...$latest
git checkout --branch $latest $latest

make clean autoloads
----------------------------------------

I looked at `mk/targets.mk` but didn't find anything similar.

Kind regards,
Miro

You may want to take a look at
  http://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-build-system.html
in particular the targets under "Compatibility and Convenience".

Best,
