This question was asked some month ago, and discussed in this group.

This is how git works: you have a local copy (at /usr/src) of the full
repository, and you can exchange with other repositories; `git clone`
allows you to copy; git.minix3.org is one of those you can exchange
with, and contains the most up-to-date official copy of the source; so
cloning from it will seed your new repository with the best source.

Thanks, i solved the problem by using git and creating new src directory and it works fine.
