+Getting the sandbox
+-------------------

+Visit http://github.com/pinard/Recode/tree/dev-3.7 and use the
+*Download* button to get a packaged copy of development sources.  If you
+happen to be a Git lover, you may rather use::
 
-    git clone git://recode%(bpi)s/recode
-    cd recode
-    sh after-patch.sh
+  git clone git://github.com/pinard/Recode.git
+  
+and then, checkout branch ``dev-3.7``.  File timestamps after checktou
+may trigger Make difficulties.  As a way to avoid, from the top level of

+:code:`sh` or GNU :code:`touch`, try ``python after-patch.py`` instead.
