The step after I checkout your branch failed with this as the last few 
lines:

touch ./out/share/lilypond/current/lilypond-force
make --no-builtin-rules out=www clean
make[1]: Entering directory `/media/IntelSSD/lilypond/lilypond-git'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `clean'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/media/IntelSSD/lilypond/lilypond-git'
make: *** [doc-clean] Error 2


FWIW it also failed on the lines

$LILYPOND_GIT/configure

for reasons I don't understand, but must be something to do with bash. 
Replacing the variable with the actual path worked.

Let me know if I can give you further information to help you find out 
what's happening.
