Hit send (before my coffee...) and it occurred to me if you have not
done an initial install with git you would need to have run a clone of
the code repository first to a local directory with :
git clone https://github.com/POV-Ray/povray.git
before using any git pull commands to stay current locally with
particular versions. The above clone will be set to the master branch by
default.
You can switch versions in your local clone with a command like:
git checkout origin/3.7-stable
to switch to the stable branch. Still very much learning git myself...
