When you did the git clone, you should have seen something like:

foo at blah:~$ git clone git://scm.dxcluster.org/scm/spider spider.new
Cloning into 'spider.new'...
remote: Counting objects: 18078, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (5920/5920), done.
remote: Total 18078 (delta 14143), reused 15529 (delta 12058)
Receiving objects: 100% (18078/18078), 5.04 MiB | 722 KiB/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (14143/14143), done.
foo at blah:~$

and if you do an: ls -l
you should have a line that says something like:

drwxr-xr-x 22 djk      djk      4096 Apr  4 10:20 spider.new

if you then do: cd spider.new
and then: ls -a
you should see:

.        contrib        data      .git        LICENSE  sgml           TODO
..       COPYING        examples  .gitignore  mrtg     SpiderConsole  txt
Changes  .cvsignore     filter    gtkconsole  msg      spider-web
cmd      cvsupdate      gcommit   html        perl     src
connect  cvsupdate.bat  Geo       INSTALL     scripts  techdoc

Note that there is a .git directory there.

you should, from the directory you are in (~/spider.new), do: mv .git 
../spider
then: cd ../spider
then: git reset --hard

You could use: ~/spider instead of: ../spider if you prefer.

~/spider is shorthand for /home/sysop/spider but if you are in 
/home/sysop/spider.new then ../spider is the same as ~/spider.


You should then be set up to carry on.
