   Does anyone have documentation for generating a CVS repository from
   mit-scheme-20090107.tar.gz or for generating a build tree (that I can
   use for configure, make, make install) from a clone of the git repository?

Just run

git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/mit-scheme.git

If you have installed an existing Scheme that is recent enough (e.g.,
the 20090107 snapshot), then you can then build Scheme in the src
subdirectory by running Setup.sh, configure, and make.  You need to
rerun Setup.sh only after certain changes -- those to cpp dependencies
in the microcode, to the files in microcode/makegen, &c.  You need to
rerun configure only after changing configure.ac or the makfiles, &c.,
as usual.  After building, you can run what you have built from the
src subdirectory with

./microcode/scheme --library lib

It is also helpful to use

MITSCHEME_INF_DIRECTORY=`pwd` ./microcode/scheme --library lib

so that Scheme will know where to find debugging information.
