Could be just..

$ cd linux-2.6
$ git pull

Nope. It intentionally includes the manual rsync because clone/pull doesn't seem to grab tags. Or at least last time I checked...

i just used the instructions at the bottom of your web page to grab new tags, and it completely wiped all my Stacked Git metadata. (fortunately i was trying this in a test repository, and it will be simple to recover the missing files).

so, this is probably something that should have a warning, or maybe you might consider providing an example that won't wipe out existing files and directories under .git/ ...
