In case you only want to update a single part of the checkout to the
development version, eg. one of the ExternalLibraries (they are still in
subversion and will likely stay because git does not handle large binary
blobs of data like the tarballs very well) you can do:

cd arrangements/ExternalLibraries/HDF5/
svn switch '^/trunk'
svn update

and for git based repos

cd repos/flesh
git checkout master
git pull

you can use the regular git pull and svn update commands in the
repositories. There is also an update (-u) option to GetComponents
however it may switch branches again since the thornlist specified the
release branch.

Yours,
Roland
