Chris Malone:

Current documentation [here](http://yt-project.org/doc/advanced/developing.html#how-to-get-the-source-code-for-editing) says that to use your forked repo as the *active* repo for development you need to copy the *.cfg files for the default repo to your new repo.  This doesn't appear to be strictly necessary as `setup.py develop` seems to find them via ctypes or envars.
