I've just tested the resurrected rsync instructions on the Samba4
HOWTO page and updated them slightly as a result.

Someone appears to have fixed samba.org::ftp/unpacked/samba_4_0_test/
so that it works with ./autogen.sh and doesn't need ./autogen-waf.sh.
I've left the ./autogen-waf.sh in the HOWTO, though, since it still
works, of course, and does no harm.

The unpacked tree now appears to include all the git objects, instead
of pointing to them using .git/objects/info/alternates, so I've
removed the step that deletes that file and also the comment about
"git fetch" downloading 160MB of git history.  This is what "git
fetch" gave me:

$ git fetch
