OK, I was confused, :-)

I quickly looked over again, and now things look fine to me, except
that it takes quiet a while for the update.  I have no clue why.
Perhaps I modify the fetch command to include "-v" and see what goes
on.  I'll see if that helps me identify what gets so slow next time...

BTW, there are other things besides plain git playing around, as shown
in "/var/lib/sorcery/modules/libdownload".  It would be useful to see
everything that's going on, but I don't see how to increase
verbosity...

Any ways, thanks a lot, I'm glad I learned new things Today, :-)
