Based on a forum suggestion [1], I worked out that I can zip up my src 
directory and stick it in a local files repo. Then override GH_TAGNAME 
and MASTER_SITES when building locally. Here’s the script that does 
the job: 
https://gist.github.com/patmaddox/d5d8a0e0df656072749bf18f7f634ae9#file-build-sh

I thought perhaps I could point make to a specific src directory, but it 
seems that it absolutely requires a zip file. Easy enough.
