I think you probably want to use "raco update --clone math" and you'll end up with a directory named "math": where you run that that is a clone of the racket/math github repo and the racket installation you ran "raco" from will now use that as the source. Then you can add a remote to it with your clone to work on a pull request. You should be able to do this with your own built version of racket (which you get by running "make" in the top level of a clone of racket/racket) or in a snapshot build or probably even in 8.0.
Does that help?
