On github, after I fork a project, modify it, then submit my pull request, it seems that I have to delete and re-fork in order to stay current with any changes made after my pull request is honored.

It seems tedious to have to keep deleting the repo to keep it current. Is there some way to keep it current without deleting and re-forking?
