There's a gnucash-git module in the moduleset, so you can just build
gnucash-git the same way you'd
build gnucash-svn. I guess that your repo is on your Linux box, not your Mac.
There are a couple of
choices for building from your existing repo:
* Let it complete, then cd to the new git repo in ~/gtk/sources/gnucash-git,
add your other repo as a remote,
and pull in the gsettings branch, then rebuild.
* Edit gnucash.modules to add your local repo and change the repo in the
gnucash-git module to point to it.
At the top, in the repo block, add:
<repository type="git" name="my-git"
href="myLinuxHost:/path/to/directory/containing/gnucash/repo"/>
And in the gnucash-git module, make repo="my-git" and module="gnucash" (or
whatever the dirname
of the repo is).
If I guessed wrong and you're actually set up my way, using a Mac as your only
machine and Linux
and M$Win in VMs, then you can just move the repo to ~/gtk/sources/gnucash-git.
You'll have to
change the URLs on the VM's checkouts, of course.
I used the default checkout root (~/gtk/sources) above, but you can change it
by adding the line
checkoutroot="/path/to/where/you/want"
to your .jhbuildrc-custom.
Let me know if you have any issues; I'll be on the IRC channel in an hour or so.
