I'll test it soon.

No. My idea is that I follow the published instructions in the CG
exactly. And by "exactly", I mean "copy and paste". If I get hit
by a bus, I want my replacement to know exactly what to do. The
best way to ensure that is to slavishly follow the written
instructions exactly, all the time.

tl;dr webpage: I merge a good commit to release/unstable, then
build with
make LILYPOND_BRANCH=release/unstable lilypond
We can discuss changing those instructions if you want, but
they've been working since Nov 2009. The savannah network problem
is a huge pain for new contributors too, so I want to get this
sorted out. At the moment, "sorting out" looks like "ok,
git+savannah simply cannot provide --depth reliably, so we'll
switch to cloning the entire repo".
