And considering I make doc about 3-4 times a day most days with no 
problems and I am not AFAIK using 'sudo', which was why I was interested 
in what exactly is being done here step by step.

Are you for instance doing/have done something as 'root' and then trying 
to run the make process as joe-user?

If I take a quick peek in my LILYPOND_GIT all my dirs are owner/group 
'jlowe jlowe' than root, or any other user.
