Grief; hopefully the meter doesn't roll too quickly. Of course, once
you have the git repository - you should fetch only deltas from then on
- which should be quick and easy: you have both the 3.5 and master
branches locally etc. So hopefully bandwidth wise things should go
better.

Wrt. the wiki - it is quite possibly out of date :-) but the good thing
is that the wiki is human editable - having said that (and I'm not a Mac
hacker), I was lead to believe that the build is reasonably self
contained. Perhaps some Mac-ite can take this bug on.

So - as Norbert says in sw/ lives much of the code; but 'git grep' can
be a good tool to find UI strings which are typically defined in .src
files next to the .cxx file that implements the behaviour you're
interested in.
After processing this thread of replies ;-) it'd be great to know what
your next sticking point is ... getting the first build is quite an
achievement on Mac (it's rather simple on Linux these days ;-)
All the best,
Michael.
