Updating
~~~~~~~~

When you updated your local copy of the code (e.g. by pulling the git repo, or
extracting a new version), the virtualenv should automatically use the updated
code. However, dependencies won't be updated that way. Thus, it's recommended
to run `mkvenv.py --update` instead, which will run `git pull` and recreate the
virtualenv with updated dependencies.
If you cloned the git repository, run `mkvenv.py --update` which will take care
of updating the code (via `git pull`) and recreating the environment with the
newest dependencies.

Alternatively, you can update your local copy of the code (e.g. by pulling the
git repo, or extracting a new version) and the virtualenv should automatically
use the updated versions. However, dependencies won't be updated that way.
