@roland @hikerus Yeah and it's pretty neat to do it with 'git pull'. This is what I do to update !gnusocial on #quitter.es and #quitter.is (including !Qvitter):

cd ~/htdocs && bash scripts/stopdaemons.sh && git pull && php scripts/upgrade.php && bash scripts/startdaemons.sh && cd local/plugins/Qvitter/ && git pull

(symlinked ~/htdocs to the site's root directory)
