		  Install Git:Install Git software version 1.6.2.2 or later.  See the Git
		     Community Handbook
		     installation and 
		     setup instructions, as well as our
                     Installing git Genomewiki page.
 
		  Start an initial Git local repository: 
 $ git clone git://genome-source.cse.ucsc.edu/kent.git
 
 or, if a firewall prevents git daemon port 9418, use:
 
 $ git clone http://genome-source.cse.ucsc.edu/kent.git
 
 The kent source tree will be imported to the current working directory
		     in a directory named ./kent/.
 
  		  Track the beta branch at UCSC repository:Most users want to use the beta branch, which has tested, released 
                     versions of the browser. To create a beta 
		     tracking branch:
 
 $ cd kent
 $ git checkout -t -b beta origin/beta
 
 The -b creates a local branch with name "beta", and checks it out.
 The -t makes it a tracking branch, so that 'git pull' brings in updates
		     from origin/beta, the "real" beta branch in our public central
		     read-only repository.
 
 
	          To get the latest UCSC release:From anywhere within the kent source tree:
 
 $ git pull
 
	          Updates:UCSC generally updates the origin/beta branch every two weeks. If you
		   are updating database tables for a mirror site, we recommend that you
		   update the source at the same time, as source code is sometimes
		   modified to include operations on new columns that have been added to 
		   database tables.
 
		   See also: the README files in the source tree directory
		   src/product/README.*. For instructions on keeping local tracks
                   separate from UCSC Genome Browser tracks, see 
		   src/product/README.trackDb. Should you have any comments or questions, contact
		  genome-mirror@cse.ucsc.edu.
