You need to execute the target "ant package" from the solr directory (i.e. the sibling of the lucene directory) under where you cloned the Git repo.
You should then find a distro just like you'd download from one of the mirrors, I don't quite remember where now, in build? dist?.... If you're testing locally, you don't have to build the package target, the 'ant server' target will compile the patch into <git dir>/solr/ wherever and you can start the changed code using the bin/solr script. P.S. I often build "ant server dist' to be sure I have the jar files for any SolrJ program I happen to be working with too...
