The only issue with “gnucash.git” is that if you do 
  git clone https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash 

the resulting directory is named gnucash rather than gnucash.git; to get 
gnucash.git you must explicitly add that at the end of the command.

The unstable/master windows build is IMO a lot more straightforward—but then I 
wrote it. I’ll get some instructions up on the wiki in the next day or two.
