While we're discussing possible errors on that page ... at the bottom of
the page under the "multiple workdirs" alternative are these recipes for
re-syncing your local checkouts:

git checkout REL9_0_STABLE
git pull

git checkout master
git reset --hard origin/master

Are the git checkout steps really needed, considering each workdir would
normally be on its target branch all the time? If so, what are they
accomplishing exactly? I don't think I've entirely internalized what
that command does.
