[ixpmanager] GIT for Dummies or Upgrading IXP Manager

[Barry O'Donovan]

Okay, I've updated those documents significantly. Please re-read the 
following pages and let me know if it's still unclear:

https://github.com/inex/IXP-Manager/wiki/Installation-02-Downloading
https://github.com/inex/IXP-Manager/wiki/Forking-vs.-Cloning
https://github.com/inex/IXP-Manager/wiki/Installation-09-Upgrading-IXP-Manager


Note that I originally suggested forking for two reasons:

a) the way to contribute back code is via pull requests which requires 
forking;
b) many IXP's may wish to skin various pages and keep those skins in 
GitHub - this also requires forking.

But, if neither of the above apply (and you don't plan to develop IXP 
Manager), forking is not required.
