Instructions for using Git by Steven Yi
Using git for for just checking out and compiling is pretty easy.
1. Install git
2. Use this command to clone the Csound6 git repository:
git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/csound/csound6-git

This will checkout a read-only (meaning, you can not commit back to
the central git repository) version of the Csound5 repo.

3. To update with the latest from the master repo, use:
git pull

4. The same process is used for the Csound manual. Use this command to
clone: git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/csound/manual
