How, then, do I update code?  ie. I perform my initial clone, make
some changes and commit / push them.  Someone else then comes along,
makes some changes and commits them.  The next day, I do Remote ->
Fetch from -> origin to update my code to the latest in Git but
c:\git\test\clone\README is exactly the same as it was before.  How do
I update the initial clone such that I can edit the updated files?
