That's how it works for sabotage so far:

./build-stage1
./build-pkg

will completely update the system (I guess I'll switch to a
dependency-based approach since I already have a fair share of packages).
The whole thing should be DESTDIR-ready, so you can install into a
chroot for testing or building file sets. Plain users simply unpack
these file sets into /.

git pull works as well already. :)
