It doesn't. I either generate a patch from my git repository and apply
the patch to a tarball (as a part of the RPM build process) or I
manually use svn to checkout a copy of the menuselect code if I'm
doing more involved development.

I'm not in front of my development systems but I use whatever is the
latest git package available for Fedora 7 and 8, which I think is
1.5.3.4.
