This sounds like compiling directly in the GIT tree rather than copying
"out of source." I am and have been following the wiki to copy the sources
to a different location to build "out of source."

How you make: copying "out of source"? Copying the current contents of your
git working tree? Well - then this is exactly what the checkout prepare.
You can checkout your git working tree to state of 2012-04-01, then copy
current contents of your working tree (precisely sources in state of
2012-04-01) "out of source" and build.
