Just before you start compilation you do a git commit -a -m "My modifications". All these modifications you made are preserved for next time and you can do the upgrade smoothly.

It would be a nightmare to manually record where all the files go. Can't you do git-add every time you create a new file, so that you can run git-clean -xdf without fear of deleting your newly created files? That seems like it would skip the issue of copy/pull/copy again. You would also skip the git-reset. What if you’ve changed 100 files?
