whilst in xserver directory do this:
git checkout -f xgl-0-0-1

next time you want to update your local xgl branch do this:
git pull . xgl-0-0-1

having said that I do get compilation errors as well, related with some 
symlinks to Mesa files (arrayobj.[ch]), which I can manually set, but 
then I have run-time missing symbols.

I patch might be somewhere out there. I hope someone can point me to the 
right direction.

regards,
Ioannis

PS: I'm very new in git, nevertheless I think the above is the correct 
way to switch to a branch and update it.
