Tzafrir commented that git doesn't handle svn:externals, so his
instructions include having to import menuselect before you can build.
With hgsvn, you have the same issue.  Externals are completely ignored,
so at least with Asterisk, it means menuselect needs to be linked in to
the working copy before you can build.
