Thanks Hippo. Unfortunately, I am not sure I understand all of your instructions. I am pretty new to uClinux so you may have to be more explicit on how to perform the steps you described above. I found the vendors/Altera directory under uClinux-dist but I only have a directory of nios2 there. Not sure how to 'switch the the branch to "trunk"'. Sorry to be a bother.
I did this under uClinux-dist:
$git branch
* test-nios2
$git checkout -b trunk
Switched to a new branch 'trunk'
$git pull

You asked me to pull without telling me which branch you
want to merge with, and 'branch.trunk.merge' in
your configuration file does not tell me either. Please
specify which branch you want to merge on the command line and
try again (e.g. 'git pull <repository> <refspec>').
See git-pull(1) for details.
If you often merge with the same branch, you may want to
configure the following variables in your configuration
file:
branch.trunk.remote = <nickname>
branch.trunk.merge = <remote-ref>
remote.<nickname>.url = <url>
remote.<nickname>.fetch = <refspec>
See git-config(1) for details.
