Once you have switched to this fork it will update quickly. There are a migration SQL files in /protected/install/migration-*.sql that should always be safe to apply to your database, they only alter or create as needed.

So, the update steps are:

1. Run git pull origin master
2. Import the latest migration SQL file (or all of them to be safe)
