Well, let's see. If someone can figure out the git equivalent of

if cvs -q update | egrep -q '^(U|P) '; then
# ... something changed, so run the update ...
fi

(assuming, for simplicity, that the current directory has the
appropriate branch checked out already)

then I might be able to get this fixed.
