If you'd like to be able to update your Django code occasionally with the
latest bug fixes and improvements, follow these instructions:

1. Make sure that you have Subversion_, Git_, or Mercurial_ installed, and
   that you can run its commands from a shell. (Enter ``svn help``,
   ``git help``, or ``hg help`` at a shell prompt to test this.) Note that

   Git and Mercurial repositories and as such will always be the most up-to-date.

        These mirrors should be updated every 5 minutes but aren't guaranteed
        to be up-to-date since they are hosted on external services.
   This will create a directory ``django-trunk`` in your current directory.
