how do I go about updating a properly cloned download from a git repository?
I recommend using:
git pull --rebase
git pull first does git fetch, then it does either git merge or git rebase. Which of the second to use only matters if you have changes committed to the local master branch. git merge creates a merge commit to include these changes into the master branch. git rebase will "unhook" the string of commands that you have made, update to whatever the latest is on the coreboot.org server, and finally try to re-apply the string of commits that you had made. Usually this will be completely automatic, but if there are severe conflicting changes (your local changes vs. the changes coming from coreboot.org) then you will have to do manual conflict resolution.
