Do you mean the 'master' branch by 'main trunk'? Trunk is not in Git's terminology. > If the older version has some files that are no > longer in the newer version, how does git determine whether to keep those > files or not? Does it even notify me that those files are no longer needed? First, I think storing upstream code (that you will never touch) in version control is a horrible idea, but if you really do it, I would do something like: cd /path/to/copy rm -rf * cp -a /path/to/new/version/* . git add -A git commit -m 'update foo to 2.0' That will add/update/delete files as you would expect.
