If your local repository is git:

knife cookbook site install COOKBOOK
knife cookbook upload COOKBOOK

This will install the cookbook in the chef-repo, handling all the cool
branching and tagging that you can do with git, then upload the
cookbook to the server. Somewhere in there you should probably read
the code to see what its going to do on your systems.

If you local repository is not git, then:

knife cookbook site download COOKBOOK
tar -zxvf COOKBOOK.tar.gz -C cookbooks
[ use your version control system to commit to the repo, do any
branch/merge/tag work etc ]
knife cookbook upload COOKBOOK
