It really is there:

Do build in the rawbuild/ directory as that operates directly on the git
repositories.

If you work in rawbuild and "make" from there, you can directly go into
the directory, make changes, git add <files that you have changed>, git
commit, and extract the patch with git format-patch HEAD^1.
