If you have cloned the repository already, then "git pull" will update to the latest commit. If you haven't already cloned the repository, do that instead. It's not downloading anything you wouldn't have downloaded while using SVN, so settle down.
I don't get why people are having so much trouble with git. A git clone or git pull will download the same damn stuff as a SVN checkout or a SVN update, just with different commands, and it has a number of advantages for the developers that I won't get into here. It just reeks of a bunch of old people being terrified of something new.
