Update Script

As i'd like to keep up to date with the branches of Shairport-Sync, I decided to author an update script that can be run manually or put into a cron job.

Features:

• Checks current git branch and only updates if you are behind commits
• Logs to a path you specify in case you'd like to see whats happened
• Automatically checks NQPTP for updates if you select the Development branch
• Theres no reboot step so you can call it as part of a larger script (as I do) - just add one if you wish to run it as stand alone

Instructions:

• Rename from .txt to .sh and FTP it to your box of choice
• Before running, open up the script and specify your Shairport-Sync, Log and NQPTP folders as necessary
• Comment out as appropriate the branch you intend to pull
• Remove or comment out the 'Git Status' section to remove version checking if you wish to force a re-install.

This is my first foray into Linux-based scripting so it's probably a little clumsy - I'm fairly sure you could implement switches, for example, instead of commenting out sections you want - but either way, once you set it up it should be set and forget; and you can check the logs it creates if something stops working!

As ever, feedback is very welcome.
