Yes, this should work:
http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/InstallDRM#UpdatingtheNouveaukernelgitrepository

That is, to fetch updates:
$ git remote update

and to reset your current checkout to nouveau/master:
$ git reset --hard origin/master

That should discard all commits and local changes you may have made.
It will not remove temporary files or compilation results.
