Here's my dilemma.... I've used git extensively to track modifications made to a reasonably large source tree. I do not have access to the repository for that project, just a given release. I have now acquired the latest version of that project and I want to 'merge' (not sure that's the right word in this case) my changes into the new version. Then I need to carry on using git for further changes. I think it should be simple but I can't get my head around the best way to do this.

Any pointers appreciated!
