Nope.  It uses whatever repository you specify in the LILYPOND_GIT
environment variable.

Depends on what you specify in LILYPOND_GIT and the configuration file.

Configuration of the respective paths.

I don't quite understand what you are asking here, but presumably you
mean lilypond-extra/patches/lilypond-patchy-staging.py or so.

That is command for mailing the completion message somewhere.  I have no
idea what msmtp is supposed to be, but I replaced it with

    mail dak

on my system.  Which is not really what was intended, I guess, because
it mailed a mail to me addressed to Graham and the developer list.
msmtp would likely have bypassed me doing that.
