You can use a shallow clone to pull new changes. As far as committing, '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.
