[petsc-users] working with petsc-dev

OK Thanks. Yes, I wont be pulling often. Once a month should be more 
than enough. I just wanted to make sure about the need for a complete 
reconf.

Unfortunately it is not possible to know, thus it is only safe to do a complete reconfigure. Note that unless you are pulling to get a specific new feature that was added there probably isn't a reason to git pull all that often (certainly not daily) maybe every couple of weeks or even once a month.
