[Radiant] Upgrading Gallery Extension

[Marshal Linfoot]

YIKES! Following the instructions for installing the Gallery extension
I did the following:

 cd vendor/extensions
 git clone git://github.com/pilu/radiant-gallery.git gallery

and got a message that git-clone would not overwrite an existing
directory (a good thing!). So I ran this instead:

 git clone git://github.com/pilu/radiant-gallery.git gallery2

creating a new directory, gallery2, and the whole website stopped
functioning with a "server temporarily busy" message. Restarted
LiteSpeed - no change. No errors in the LiteSpeed logs. Moved the new
gallery2 dir out of the way, restarted LiteSpeed and everything back
to normal. Whew!

Thinking it was permissions problems on gallery2, I changed them all
to match the working gallery. Moved gallery2 back into
vendor/extensions and same thing all over again.

I'm stuck now, unsure of how to upgrade. But I suspect something like:

 disable current gallery from the main admin page
 move gallery dir out of vendor/extensions
 move gallery2 into vendor/extensions and rename to gallery
 run the rake install task
 restart LiteSpeed

Anyone successfully upgraded? What did you do, am I on the right track?
