Just yesterday, I finally added this to my .bash_aliases file:

alias orgupdate='cd /home/scot/.emacs.d/vendor/org-mode; git pull && make &&
make doc'

I have the org-mode/lisp path in my 'load-path and org-mode/doc at the front
of 'Info-directory-list, so it all just stays in place.  I don't "make
install" at all.

This will work if you are running GNU/Linux and you run org-mode from the
development tree (many do).  It avoids having to download the whole tarball
each time (which admittedly isn't all that arduous these days), and of
course you ge(i)t the latest goods, which is what I prefer.

That's a little sparse on detail.  If you need me to spell it out I will.
