When you do a 'git checkout', your local copy of the source is set to the thing you checked out. So making a copy and building (as you have done) should be the right thing to do. You can make absolutely certain by looking at Basic/Core/pdl.h.PL that you used in your build. If it has the string 'PDL_TRANS_START_FLEXIBLE' in it, then it's the new code. I'm glad to hear that it works with your MSVC. Is that good enough? Do we care about any other versions of MSVC? If we don't then that's good enough for me, and I'll push this code into master.
