I created a fork on codeplex and made the seemingly incorrect assumption
that I was essentially creating a fork off the 38 branch. In fact I was
forking everything and still had to do the git checkout wix38 (using
Tortoise Git though ).
Using other tools such as Clearcase and TFS I'm used to creating workspaces
for my different branches / views. The concept of cloning and then
switching was very weird to me. The performance using cached objects
seemed really nice though.

As far as git goes, I'd start with
http://git-scm.com/book/en/Getting-Started
The short version is after you've installed git, you should be able to:
1) Open your git bash
2) Navigate to where you would like the git source to go
3) git clone https://git01.codeplex.com/wix
4) cd wix
5) git checkout wix38
Note, if you plan on making changes and submitting them upstream, the
process is different. You need to create a fork on codeplex and then clone
it.

on 3.8
I would just like to inject a couple of comments to this thread, based on
my current research into using VS2013 to build the Wix 3.8 source.
1) I do not have any prior experience with git and still have not figured
it out. I started working on it several weeks ago to get the Wix 3.8
source and before I got it working I discovered that I could just go to
wix.codeplex.com, select the version of Wix source that I wanted and click
download to get the source. But I know I still have to figure out git at
some point in the future.
2) One of the issues in my 'VS2013 to build Wix 3.8' testing is that the
VS2013 install did not include the VS shell, so when using the standard
shell there some errors related to cl.exe is missing dependencies on
mspdb100.dll. I had noticed at work similar errors when I did not use the
VS2010 shell. So after Internet research I found that VS2010 shell runs a
bat which adds the path to this dependency to %PATH%, which was the same
step that I needed to do to get my VS2013 build to work in this regard.
3) I created build.cmd and buildInitialization.cmd scripts to make it
easier to launch my various build tests and create logs as I work on
debugging different build issues. The buildInitialization.cmd script has
code that only calls the msbuild OneTimeWixBuildInitialization.proj if the
user is an elevated user, and if not reports that the script failed because
elevated privileges are needed. There is more work needed to make these
scripts work at any path, but maybe at some point we could help users in
this manner.
