The mootools-filemanager is a git repository which (probably) contains local modifications to work better with Xinha. Therefore, we want to keep it as a git repo so we can easily update. The upstream git repository is (from http://github.com/cpojer/mootools-filemanager) git://github.com/cpojer/mootools-filemanager.git Simply CD'ing into the mootools-filemanager directory and performing git pull should be sufficient to update. The mootools-filemanager/.git/ directory should be stripped prior to shipping for space concerns.
