> Can you remind me how to clone that repo ?

Basic documentation for cloning the LinuxCNC repository is
given in of the documentation at:
  http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.7/html/code/contributing-to-linuxcnc.html

Specifcally, see:
   4.1. LinuxCNC official git repo as available here:

Quoting:
  Anyone can get a read-only copy of the LinuxCNC source tree via git:
  $ git clone git://git.linuxcnc.org/git/linuxcnc.git linuxcnc-dev
  If you are a developer with push access, the ssh clone command is:
  $ git clone ssh://[email protected]/git/linuxcnc.git linuxcnc-dev

After cloning the repository (all branches), then one
(either developer or any user) would checkout the specific
new branch:

  $ git checkout ncam_for_2.7  # checkout the branch
  $ git branch   ncam_for_2.7  # use the branch

(Others can give better help with git than me)

Endorsement by users, particularly ones willing to test and
report issues, concerns, bugs, etc. might have some
influence.

I think including NativeCAM depends upon 1) _your_ interest
and availability to support it and 2) the goals of the
Release Manager and other developers for 2.7 releases and
how their goals relate to the wants and needs of the LinuxCNC
community.

Merging the new functionality of NativeCAM with the stable
2.7 release of LinuxCNC will certainly alter the dynamics of
product releases and surely increase the work burden of
those who take on the responsibility and labor in making
releases.

My belief is that projects are advanced when users feel
that project decisions are responsive to their needs and
thus are motivated to assist in whatever way they can, e.g.,
coding, testing, reporting issues.  If users aren't interested
in helping, it seems unlikely that developers will be
supportive of taking on additional tasks.
