You can use a shallow clone to pull new changes. As

'git review -s' will actually trigger fetching the entire history. So this
way the bandwidth costs of pulling the entire history are deferred until
you are ready to commit a patch, which shortens the time it takes to get a
functional MediaWiki instance.
In the course of investigating this, I realized that the current version
does not configure a remote, which is perhaps why git pull didn't work for
you (if you tried it). I'll fix that.
Aha, OK. I tried running git pull and it gave me some weird indexing error.
If git-review works, though, then that's fine.
