Did you get it working yet?

It seems that permissions to your $LILYPOND_GIT location or who you
are running the script as are not allowed to 'git fetch' and pull down
any changes from the current code to apply the patch to then check it.

Either you need to change the permissions somewhere (probably
unlikely) or you need to edit the files further to make sure that the
scripts are trying to 'fetch' the most up to date branch to the
correct place.

If you can let us know if you

1. Edited any of the files before you tried to run the scripts
2. If your %LILYPOND_GIT location is set - if you use LilyDev it
should already be set for you.
