scribe add xorg-modular from
git_http://scm.sourcemage.org/smgl/grimoire.git:xorg-modular:devel-xorg-modular

should work. git:// should work as well.

FYI, updating to devel-xorg-modular from test is going to break a
bunch of things that (IME) won't be caught by cleanse --fix, mostly
because libpthread-stubs is missing a bunch of triggers. I'm somewhat
working on finding them all, but I haven't had the time the past 4
months or so. I already have a decent list of spells that need to be
triggered that I should probably push to git though.
