Please keep in mind that my primary focus is ImageJA, in particular the
'fiji' branch.

Disclaimer: this will be a short Git tutorial.

So if you want to track ImageJ using ImageJA's 'imagej' branch, this is
what you should do:

1) install Git :-)

2) git clone git://pacific.mpi-cbg.de/ImageJA.git

(after this, a directory "ImageJA" will be there, with _ImageJA_ checked
out)

3) cd ImageJA

4) git checkout --track origin/imagej

(now you will have the current ImageJ checked out)

Whenever you feel you want to update now, run

N) git pull

This will update your current checked out ImageJ to whatever is in the
'imagej' branch.

Note that I import ImageJ manually everytime I read that Wayne released a
new version, so there may be a lag between official release and update of
said branch, such as was the case with 1.43h: it was released on Saturday,
but I was offline then and only able to import it early Monday.

Ciao,
