The easiest way (leaving a backup) is to:
 cd /usr/src
 mv asterisk asterisk-Jan2
 mv libpri libpri-Jan2
 mv zaptel zaptel-Jan2
and then do a complete new checkout. If you don't like the new checkout
for whatever reason, then restoring the original source is nothing more
then reversing the above steps.

(Note: if you restore the source noted above, you may have to remove the
modules that were installed in /usr/lib/asterisk/modules as well.)
