    7 The BOINC source is stored in a [http://www.git-scm.com Git] repository.
     5You can download the BOINC source code as a compressed archive from here:

     8You can browse the BOINC source code using [/browser a web-based interface]
     9([http://boinc.berkeley.edu/gitweb/ alternative]).
     10This is useful for getting individual files or viewing the revision history.

     54The local git repository which you created when you cloned the remote repository
     55has a complete snapshot of development at the time it was cloned.   
    4956You can use this to build the BOINC software, and you can even make local changes to your local copy.
    50 Meanwhile the BOINC developers will be making changes to the remote repository as they continue working on the software.   
    51 To see what changes have been made there since you cloned the repository you must first "fetch" the changes from that repository. 
    52 These will go into a branch called "origin/master", which is not the current working branch of your repository (which by default will be the "master" branch).

     111You could also use the "git merge" command,
