I may be wrong but LCA removal is not on the darktable as a branch, but a
different fork so by cloning that fork you should be safe.
In the event that I am mistaken and that module is a branch in the darktable
git then, I would just create a tar archive and then play with it to be safe
git checkout whatever_branch_you_want
git archive --prefix=darktable_whatever_branch/ --HEAD -o
What_Ever_Location/darktable_whatever_branch.tar.gz
Now you can do what ever you want with that tar file in any directory you want.
As a side note after you created the tar archive, it would be a good idea to go
back to the master branch
git checkout master
There may be other ways of doing what you want but that is part of what I do
for the daily snapshot builds for openSUSE
Hope this helps
