Are you are talking about ImageJA, the one used by Fiji?
If so, ImageJA is a submodule of Fiji, so I suppose this is:

git submodule init ImageJA
git submodule update ImageJA

I later found there is a different way explained here:

http://pacific.mpi-cbg.de/wiki/index.php/Git_submodule_tutorial

Not sure which way is best, I used the first and it works. I hope Johannes
will correct me if this is not right.

I do not know if there is also an ImageJ (i.e. not "A") git project.
But in any case (I hope I got this right), ImageJA is not automatically
updated with the daily build changes. I think Johannes incorporates these
every so often (although this is *very* often).

Alternatively, in linux, you can download the ImageJ daily build source from
Wayne's site with the following script:

 #!/bin/bash
wget -r -np rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/source/

but you would not see what are the version differences, obviously.
I hope it helps.
