It *was* an already cloned repository.

Even though I had already done that on Wednesday? I was trying to update 
my local copy of the repository.  My understanding was that this was the 
proper method, as you also seem to indicate above, although my knowledge 
of git is quite limited, and so it may be that you mean something else.

So, on Wednesday I ran "git-clone git://hubbs.homedns.org/speakup.git": 
what do I do in order to cause my local version to pickup any changes, if 
git-pull is the wrong utility?

Regards,

Luke
