You need to clone the git repository:

    git clone git://orgmode.org/org-mode.git 
/path/to/your/local/org/mode/git/repository

before you can use the update target in the Makefile, which just does a git pull
before remaking:

,----
| ...
| update:
|       git pull
|       ${MAKE} clean
|       ${MAKE} all
| ...
`----

Note that the /path/to/your/local/org/mode/git/repository must not exist 
beforehand:
it is created by the cloning process. And, of course, you need to have git 
installed.
