I think we can start with SVN since that should be easier.  If that  
works nicely, then we can struggle to get git polling working.

We could do something like "make DESTDIR=/tmp install" and then run it  
from there for tests.

I'm not sure what "mode" means in this context.  Here's the git URL to  
use for pd-vanilla:

git://pure-data.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/pure-data/pure-data
