The error message says ".git_filters/RevDateURL.clean: No such file or directory"
Possibly this is because there is no such file or directory. But on my system I see this:
$ ls -l .git_filters/RevDateURL.clean -rwxrwxr-x 1 lewis lewis 140 Feb 3 2019 .git_filters/RevDateURL.clean
So what is wrong?
When you clone the repository from GitHub to your local machine, you will have an equivalent repository in your own local directory. This repository will include metadata in hidden folders and files with names like .git, .git_filters, .gitattributes, and .gitignore.
If you copied your repository folder to another folder, you may have lost these hidden files and directories.
So it is best not to copy the repository folder. Just clone it directly into whatever folder you want to use, and work with it directly in that location.

Well, yes, I used Eclipse's git tool to clone it the first time. I now cloned from the command line and the update script runs. Thanks!
