The script is not working for me, so I looked a bit more closely at what was
failing, and I was surprised to find that the part of the git_xorg.sh script
(the part that shows the do_dirs) is different in the downloaded script than
what it shows on the page.  The URL is:

http://wiki.x.org/wiki/ModularDevelopersGuide#head-c108c1fd0be50c522e5dd12cf62814cd8d2f7234

The hesx you see there gives the offset of the wilki page where I'm talking
about.  For example, the page shows this:

do_dir app "${app}"

While the downloaded script shows this:

do_dir xorg app "${app}"

Note the added "xorg".   The section that is failing for me is line 108 of the
script, where it's using the arguments to do_dir.  I have edited in the
suggested fonts line, but when it runs, I added in an echo to the script to see
what's being assigned to $(dir), and it's the entire list of fonts, which is
causing a script error (too many parameters).  I suspect that the script line
for fonts, and what it should be in this version of the git_xorg.sh which has
quite obviously changed since the page was put together is out of sync.
Somebody should take a look at that page and do the required edits.
