Only if you need everything and all. Most contributions apart from main
developers are patches to single libraries or apps. Often they are
developed against stable releases and only ported to the git versions.

On the other hand, if you want to actually _run_ git checkouts, you need
some understanding of what requires what (if no metadata/script handles
that for you).
