Fetching updates on Dreamhack?

How does one update their repos on their hack now? The 'old' script no longer pulls anything for me (what used to be on http://wiki.dwscoalition.org/wiki/index.php/Dev_Maintenance) and I don't understand how I can keep up with changes. :/

(Context: I'm on Windows; I use PuTTY and WinSCP).

Edit: ok, if anybody else wonders, short answer is you can no longer update your hack using old methods. :/

Edit 2: long answer is you can switch to the new system. See comments for detailed instructions. :)

I think you are right in that they are both the same thing. They are both talking about how you don't have to run bin/cvsreport.pl. I think they end up as two separate things because before, dw-nonfree and dw-free both had to be synced; now dw-free is the base directory and dw-nonfree is in the ext directory, automatically overrides things in dw-free, and neither need syncing.

I'll try to figure out some alternative wording.
