Well, if you already have a git repository there, then just run

git-pull remote-name master

(where remote-name is whatever you named the main repository as a remote 
branch - be it origin or upstream or whatever) and it'll grab the most recent 
version. If you aren't doing any development on that branch, then it'll merge 
just fine. The only issue that I can think of would be that it might have to 
deal with authentication (though if you use the http link, I think you can 
avoid that, since you wouldn't have commit privileges anyway). And if you want 
to do it from scratch every time, then just clone the repository and then run 
the build instead of pulling and then running the build.
