There are the steps supposed to be performed.

http://x.org -> DeveloperStart -> Building X Window System

First, clone the root repo.
$ cd ~
$ git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/util/modular xorg
$ cd xorg
$ mkdir b

List the subprojects.
$ sh build.sh -L

Ask it to clone (and build) the lib/libX11 (as the Compose.pre belongs to it).
No problem if build fails.
$ sh build.sh --clone -o lib/libX11 $(pwd)/b
Or clone manually:
$ mkdir lib
$ git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/lib/libX11 lib/libX11

Now let's patch it.
$ cd ~/xorg/lib/libX11

Prepare the repository.
$ git checkout -b ruble_sign

Locate the file of interest.
$ find -iname "*compose*"

Apply the changes.
$ vim nls/en_US.UTF-8/Compose.pre

Save them into repository.
$ git status
$ git add nls
$ git diff --staged
$ export EDITOR=vim
$ git commit -e

Follow the Xorg guidelines.
$ git commit --amend --signoff
$ git config --local format.subjectPrefix "PATCH libX11"

Prepare the email.
$ git format-patch HEAD^

Example result below.
