Of course, for users who don't want to understand what is going on under 
the hood, and only intend to update their sources, the best way of doing 
so is:

cd /usr && make git-clone

and later

cd /usr && make git-update

I do not really advise doing the git init game.  Just do a

cd /usr
git clone git://chlamydia.fs.ei.tum.de/dragonfly.git src

Also, if you want to avoid stalls due to low bandwidth from crater, simply 
stick to another mirror.  They all update every minute, so there is really 
nothing to lose.
