Thanks. I followed steps at http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/GitAndHadoop and was able to do a successful build.
those are my ongoing notes, feel free to correct them; I am still trying to understand Git enough to be able to use it
One problem is that the POM files created still include the -SNAPSHOT tag of their dependencies (so hadoop-mapreduce) declares a dependency on -SNAPSHOT of -hdfs and -core, even if you give everything version numbers. I work around this in by system by not checking in the POM files to SCM for other bits of my build (that take the version tagged hadoop releases I make).
