gudev-sharp only looks for gmcs as its C# compiler - if it doesn't
find that then it sets the command to no instead of failing. Pretty
dumb but there it is... try:

$ make CSC=mcs

or alternatively create a symlink from gmcs to mcs somewhere in your path.

- Is this in your banshee-arfbtwn-fork directory? (if not, change to it)
- Is there an error message when you type "git branch --list"?
- What's the output of "git remote -v"?
- Why are you passing the patch switch to checkout?
